Embedded Youtube Videos - How To Keep Your Visitors

By:


Do you know how to keep your visitors on your site, instead of clicking through to Youtube? You know what I'm talking about; you have an embedded Youtube video on your website. Either your own video or some quality content that you have found and want to distribute.

If a visitor clicks on that video it will start playing. That's fine but if they click on it again, they go to Youtube and that's where they end up. Keep reading to see how to stop them doing this.

There is a way to stop this from happening. A big problem for online marketers is when you embed a video on your site, whether that is your own or some useful information, either on your own blog, your opt-in site or lead capture page. The last thing you want people to do is to click on that video and leave your site by ending up on Youtube.

You do get some advantages that you might want to think about when this does happen though. Your visitors will view your other videos and get to know you better that way and it would also iboost the number of views that your Youtube videos will receive.

So what if your aim is to keep your visitors on your website and retain them there for as long as you can then what do you do? It is easy to get distracted by other things. When you're on your own working online at home, it is easily done.

One minute your visitor is looking at a video on your site. The next minute, they have clicked on it, gone through to Youtube, seen a related video, gone through to that other page and BANG, before you know it your visitor has left, never to be seen again. It may well not be anything to do with your own videos content. It was probably a good quality video packed full of information. But by getting distracted by other Youtube videos, you lost them.

So if you know that this happens, what do you do about it? I have always been told to not use Youtube to embed videos because of this happening. People use Youtube all the time. It is the most used video sharing site available. It is actually the second most used search site after Google being used the most.

You can stop this from carrying on by just altering the embed code. All you have to do is copy the Youtube embed code and place it in to your page or into a notepad document. It's simple, you don't need to understand the why, just copy. What you do is to change just two small sections of the embedded video code.
