Honestly, I can’t speak for other websites (besides seeing what I see and
know). At ExposureRoom we don’t have any distractions from the video. No ads in
the video and one text ad to the right hand side of the page. No animated ads
anywhere on any page on the site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>There is more money is pre-roll video ads then there is for
animations and more money in animated ads than for static image ads. So video
sites may just go down the route of video ads. I know there are large
businesses that cater to all your needs for pre-roll ads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
