As you probably know from our prior posts, YouTube can be a great source of free traffic to your website.    However, for really viral videos, there’s a major traffic leak in this model:

You post your popular video

A blogger gets the video url and embeds it on a blog.

End result: People get to enjoy your content without seeing your link in the video description section or your clickable name (which goes to your channel.  Your channel has your link outs).

Solution: Disable embedding.  If people want to see your video, they have to click the Youtube link and see it on youtube (along with your links).
