Pay only for the impressions delivered
With Google TV Ads, you only pay for an impression when a viewer watches your commercial for more than five seconds. This information is gathered from about 5 million Dish Network set top boxes, so you can be sure you only pay for what you get.
Just like with Google AdWords, Google TV Ads utilizes an auction-based pricing system, so you are guaranteed the lowest clearing price in our system for an ad spot. You have complete control over your media investment by setting a maximum cost-per-thousand impressions bid (Max CPM) and daily budget.
