From the latest OnlineSpin:
"(...) There are three primary ways in which I've heard of companies developing tools to ensure the safety of advertisers in this space. The first methodology is based on peer review. In this model, a set of meta-data for the content--primarily video content--can be created based on the reviews or any set of review information posted and maintained by the viewer. It relies on the engagement of the audience, but has proven successful for other sites, especially those that are in the form of the Wikipedia. This model requires ongoing maintenance by the audience, which can be viewed as a pro or a con--but is certainly useful, because as the environment changes the meta-data can be updated to reflect audience tolerance.
The second model I've come across is when a technology catalogues the content on the page surrounding the UGC and hypothesizes that the content of the video is related to the content surrounding it. This model would seem to be relatively easy to build, and its logic is clear, but the problem is that it needs to cross-reference the data for the multiple of pages where the content is located and then merge the data to ensure proper classification. This process is extremely important when cataloguing for search. This model would appear to be sound, even if it requires that a fairly robust database be maintained to ensure its effectiveness.
The third model I've heard about is similar to the second, but rather than the content surrounding the video being catalogued, it's the pages linking to the video. This seems to be most applicable to YouTube and the other sites where other viewers consistently link to the video content from other sites, but do not host the videos themselves. This model also appears to be the most scalable--although once again it requires that the spiders be in place on a consistent basis to ensure that the content is updated regularly. (...)"
