A new survey by Advertising.com illustrates how online video has become mainstream in web content consumption. Two-thirds of web users say they watch online video at least once a week. Here’s how their content choices break down:

49% News clips
47% Music videos
33% Movie trailers
26% TV shows
21% User-created videos

Of course, people 35+ prefer news clips, while the younger set sticks with entertainment. Another interesting data set: gaming sites had the highest click-through rates for video ads (.87%) followed by career sites (.71%) and auto sites (.63%).
