With the network of video advertising, internet users of the rejection of advertising more intense, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative change. Among them, the Netizen spontaneous shielding advertisement behavior, deserve to arouse the attention of the network advertisement profession.
Since the beginning of 2012, the SARFT promulgated the "restraining order", restricting the time, length and type of advertising in the TV series to make provisions, which is undoubtedly a good news for the video site, many advertisers have reduced in the traditional media to seize the video site.
According to Analysys recently published in the third quarter of 2012 China Network video Market quarterly monitoring data show that China's online video market advertising revenue of 2.64 billion yuan, compared with the same period last year, an increase of 77.9%. From the data, network video ads are increasingly favored by advertisers and are still expanding, the major video sites are also spared no effort to expand new content products, advertising forms, increase the length of advertising.
Network Video: From content to advertising, how far away
According to the latest data released by 2012, China's network video users have reached 450 million, of which the user age distribution is mainly in the 20-29-year-old, accounting for about 59% of total video users. This shows that the network video users do have a huge user groups, and more younger. However, with the change of media form, we often overlook an important problem, that is, the space for users to choose whether or not to watch advertising is larger.
Although the traditional TV is more and more affected by the network video, the user's usage frequency and usage habits have changed. However, compared with traditional TV, the former has the advantage of rich content, whether it is instant news or long video, such as serials. However, the majority of netizens in the Internet world, their behavior in the face of the media has changed greatly. Just as users see the boring TV ads will use the remote control to change the station, users in the face of Internet advertising, will involuntarily many ways to reject ads, such as browsing other web pages, open im Chat, in the SNS circle with friends, brush a micro bo forward mutual powder, etc. Online video advertising time will never be tied to the eyes of netizens.

The controversial "good Chinese voice" of the summer has continued to rise with ratings, while the frequency and length of the commercials have soared and turned into a cash cow. According to SARFT, every one hours of the program allows 12 minutes of advertising, 90 minutes of pure programming can do 22 minutes of advertising. And China's good Voice program group is full of space to fill the ads, even every replay will not miss any free room.

Many users will not miss the exciting content behind the passive read all the ads. The helpless user each period is forced by these ads stare, even many netizens start to practice the host Hua less in each installment to read the N times the advertisement word, the goal is seeks to surpass asks the challenge, this is not is the advertisement main wants to achieve the goal? Even if the BBS, SNS community to launch any anti-advertising calls, China's good voice is still a beautiful ending, the audience rating is the first, which is the influence of traditional TV media.
Most advertisers are in accordance with the common sense that video content to attract users to see ads, such a big investment must have a value in return, for network video, this logic is not tenable, good content does not mean that users do not exclude ads. And in the network video viewing environment, the user chooses not to watch the advertisement the threshold is extremely low, the way method is very many.
