• a run-time length, wherein the run-time length is associated with a length of the video file;
• tag data relating to one or more tags that are associated with the video file;
• accessing the particular web object, wherein accessing the particular web object comprises initiating the video file;
• and
• during a time period at least as long as the run-time length, validating the one or more tags using the tag data.

• receiving validation information associated with one or more video files that are accessible on a webpage, wherein the validation information comprises:
• one or more time intervals associated with at least one of the one or more video files, and
• tag data relating to one or more tags that are associated with the at least one of the one or more video files;
• requesting through a network connection the at least one of the one or more video files;
• executing the at least one of the one or more video files, wherein executing the at least one of the one or more video files causes at least one of the one or more tags to fire;
• and
• validating the one or more tags by determining whether the one or more tags conform to the received tag data.
