AOL has done well to space out its video content across several segments such as tech, health, auto, food, sports, etc. AOL has also tied up with recognized celebrities and people with high influencing ability with a ready web audience. AOL has announced two tie-ups with Nielsen with the first one being a study on audiences that view online TV content.

Another program involves comparing traditional TV viewing with audiences that view AOL’s premium videos numbering well over 620,000. This program, called AVR or AOL Video Reach will allow advertisers to measure AOL viewership against traditional TV by using Nielsen and AOL against other internet properties by using comScore.

AOL has also tied up with Mediaocean and FreeWheel, which allows TV users to get digital inventory as well as compare TV inventory with AOL inventory. ComScore’s reports reveal that U.S. viewers viewed a record 15.8 billion video ads during the month of May 2013.
