Hot on the heels of the GoogTube Adsense Video launch is Blinkx with a slightly different approach to monetizing videos. The new Blinkx AdHoc Video Widget allows you to overlay relevant pay per click text link ads in videos you embed on your site or social networking page.

“Next time you embed a video from a video-sharing site, simply run the embed code through blinkx AdHoc first to start making money. When you add the embedded video will have contextually relevant ads placed near or on it. If your viewers click on these ads the advertiser pays blinkx and blinkx will share 50% of that revenue with you.” Payments will be facilitated through PayPal.

So one of the major differences between GoogTubeSense and Blinkx is that Blinkx does a 2 way rev share (you, them) instead of 3 way (you, them, video producer.) The other difference is that instead of being limited to YouTube you can monetize videos from MySpace, GoogleVideo, YouTube, Revver, Metacafe, Veoh, DailyMotion, Break, FunnyOrDie and CollegeHumor.


TechCrunch has a good overview and the video below shows how easy it is.
