The innovative part involves the distribution plan. Google will syndicate the program using its AdSense advertising system to thousands of Web sites that are predetermined to be gathering spots for the Family Guy target audience, typically young men. Instead of placing a static ad on a Web page, Google will place a “Cavalcade” video clip.
This is definitely a step in the right direction for internet video and monetizing it. Google has already admitted that they don’t know how to monetize YouTube, so this is a fresh look. And just yesterday they re-branded their recent acquisition DoubleClick Performics as the Google Affiliate Network, so this is definitely exciting news.
As it turns out, it won’t actually BE Family Guy (sad for me) but a new show called “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy”.
