Ad placements throughout the site drive traffic to those spots.
JibJab founder Gregg Spiridellis said one of his main concerns is making the sites content friendly to advertisers. To that end, he noted JokeBox requires a more extensive registration process than is demanded by competitors, most notably YouTube, and has an elaborate vetting and reporting processes for new content.
Weve spent a lot of time and money to control what gets posted to the site, he said. Ultimately in a user generated content environment, we have to create a safe place not only for our users, but also for our advertisers.
Despite those efforts, JokeBox appears to contain a good deal of borrowed or pirated video content. Interestingly, some people have uploaded Bud Light ads that arent a part of the brands sponsorship, including a vulgar spot labeled Unseen Superbowl Commercial.
JokeBox has been in Beta for three months, and is now in whats being called Beta 2.0.
