Google has unveiled a new type of ecommerce ad on YouTube. The ad allows YouTube viewers to buy digital goods from Apple’s iTunes or Amazon.com with just one click.

Basically, when someone watches a YouTube video containing a music track they will be able to click on an icon to download the relevant song from either iTunes or Amazon.com’s music store.
