AdSense rewarded ad units allow you to reward users on your site for viewing full-page image or video ads for a specific duration. You can show rewarded ads to users in exchange for additional value on your site, such as access to premium content, pages without ads, or coupon codes. Learn how to set up a rewarded ad unit.

Bruno Ramos Lara notified me of this after he published about this on his Spanish blog.

Rewarded ads are served after a user explicitly chooses to view a rewarded ad. Rewarded ads are shown to users in exchange for a reward, such as premium content or coupons. You can specify the reward values associated with the ad units on your site and set different rewards for different ad units. You can then control the reward the user receives, Google explained.

AdSense rewarded ads are full-page image or video ads.

The user is shown a close button with a countdown timer that shows the number of seconds remaining before the user receives the reward. The actual duration of the countdown can be any duration between 5 and 30 seconds depending on the ad. If the user closes the ad before the countdown has finished, they're shown a message asking them if they want to close the ad or resume. If they choose close, they don't receive the reward.

Here is what they look like:

For a forum, what reward can be given?

I have a feeling this was never made with forums in mind sadly. This reminds me of ads you'd see in mobile games. The only thing I can think of is you'll earn more money in Adsense if you have members interact with them but if someone is on a forum they're there for content and not having to interact with intrusive ads.

Maybe, we can make links clickable after they view the ads 😀

It’s possible to give out points and badges if you could implement them in a way that’s not too annoying on forums. That’s the only thing that could work. Especially if you have a shop page or something in place already, you could implement it there.

Same thing with blogs, you could give users exclusive access to certain pages.

Webmaster can offer free Review or posters or a sticky on the directory for the website

I have not used this new ad model yet but I think this can have high conversion for sites like forum where users posts daily
