I have a blog about Buenos Aires and the adsense text ads are quite relevant - most of the time. There are a lot of videos in YouTube about Buenos Aires and displaying different videos about Buenos Aires on the blog could be very useful to those who visit my site. But it's not clear yet whether the storehouse of YouTube videos will be channeled through the adsense video units or just selected providers. So far, I'm seeing videos that are totally irrelevant. But it also took the text ads a couple of days for relevant ads to start appearing. It all depends upon the relevance of the video.

It won't gain much traction and worst thing is I can't see to many publishers jumping up and down looking for ad buys. Maybe if its a super cheap add-on purchase.
