Easily Add Video to your Site - Google Adsense Links to YouTube
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This is old news but I’ve finally had a chance to take a look and I’m enthusiastic about the potential. Google Adsense has integrated YouTube video to bring web sites and publishers a sponsored video service which automatically features relevant videos based on the content of your site.
“A new way to enrich your site with quality, relevant video content in an embedded, customizable player. Simply embed a snippet of code and have relevant YouTube partner content streamed to your site. You can choose categories of video to target to your site, select content from individual YouTube partners, or have video automatically targeted to your site content.”
Let’s give that targeting a try! If you get a video that doesn’t seem relevant to SEO’Brien, please comment on your experience.
By the way, here’s a fun discovery which Google/YouTube fails to mention anywhere: The embed script doesn’t work in WordPress so if you would like to add this to your blog, you need to download and install this Wordpress plugin to allow javascript in your posts.

To my excitement as well, when I noticed Google adding youtube video’s for advertising purposes I added them right away to my web page. Since I already used youtube for music video’s on my site, I thought it would be a great way to simply add a code instead of searching for the relevant content.
After a few days of viewing the Google sponsored video’s, the content was simply terrible and was not changing or getting more quality content video. Delete! It only made my website drop in quality IMO, and I received no clicks from the advertisement even though I was receiving great impression numbers.

I tried adding youtube to my blog but it don’t work - I just end up going round in circles getting no nearer to getting ayotube video with adsense on my blog- very annoying and the google help system is no use (no surprise there)
Thoughts?
