Google Knows You Skipped A Commercial

googletv.gif Technology from Google submitted to the US Patent Office shows how they can tell when someone viewing a video skipped an ad, reports WebPro News.

"Plenty of people watch videos online, but successfully making money from their viewing habits continues to prove a challenge. Even Google and its top online destination, YouTube, may not be receiving the results they desire.

They will know who opted to skate over advertising in the video, to a certain extent. A Google patent application about targeted video advertising answers the long-time question, did someone actually watch an ad or not?"
