I hate ads. You hate ads. Almost everybody hates ads, except for manybe the people who make ads. Hell, even they might not like them. The point being that most of the times, you probably wait impatiently for the Skip button whenever an advertisment loads up in a YouTube video, or maybe curse inwardly (I’m just saying :P). But sometimes, some ads really click, so to speak. I wouldn’t watch a majority of ads, but I wouldn’t skip a really good one either. And as it turns out, there are many other people like me who wouldn’t skip a good ad, as indicated by Google’s report on the top 10 best performing YouTube ads in 2013.

In fact, YouTube has released this report for January 2013, and has ranked ads based on their promotion and popularity. This really shows that some ads are really worth sticking around for, even if they are an inconvenience. So let’s a take at these most popular ads on YouTube, shall we?
That concludes the list. Hope you enjoyed. And besides enjoyment, there’s something to gain from these videos (advertisers, take the hint :P). They can, indeed provide insights into what constitutes a good and successful ad. Hope you liked this post, and will share it. Peace 🙂
