Website Video Monetization
Monetize your website with video ads
VideoNest provides website monetization infrastructure for video creators. Run pre-roll and mid-roll ads through an ad-enabled player, manage eligibility, and generate revenue from approved video ad impressions on your own site.
Why it matters
Your website traffic should pay you directly
Your website is a separate revenue surface from YouTube, Vimeo, and social sites. It still needs ad infrastructure, payment processing, and technical setup. VideoNest handles that work for eligible publishers.
Pre-Roll
Ads that play before your video begins. A clear placement for eligible website video inventory.
Mid-Roll
Ads inserted at natural break points for videos over 8 minutes. Placement is automatic. VideoNest handles timing.
Post-Roll
Ads that play after your video ends. Useful for additional eligible ad placements without changing the video experience before playback.
Owned-site placements
Video ads wherever your audience watches
Use the same ad-enabled VideoNest player across article pages, library pages, subscriber areas, and sponsor-supported placements.
Article embeds
Place eligible videos inside editorial pages with pre-roll or mid-roll settings tied to the embedded player.
Video library pages
Monetize hosted library pages that collect your evergreen video catalog and keep every upload findable.
Subscriber or member pages
Keep ads off premium videos or activate them on public previews with per-video placement controls.
Sponsor-supported placements
Run programmatic video ads alongside sponsor link blocks when direct deals and eligible inventory should coexist.

Website video ad FAQ
Questions about monetizing a website with video ads
What are website video ads?
Website video ads are ad placements that run through an embedded video player on your own site. Approved VideoNest publishers can run pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll placements on eligible videos.
Can I monetize video ads without running my own ad server?
Yes. VideoNest manages the ad operations stack for eligible publishers, including player delivery, placement controls, ad settings, and approved demand relationships.
Can I turn ads off for sponsored or subscriber videos?
Yes. VideoNest includes per-video ad controls, so sponsored content, subscriber-only videos, or videos with existing brand obligations can run without ads. For broader program details, see the Monetization Program.
