    I have a site intended to watch music videos (of popular bands) and want to know if
    is a good idea to send the visitors to see these videos in the YouTube site (instead of mine)

    Is there any way to monetize doing this?...or to get some traffic?

    I have no noticed anything in my travels that would make this a good idea. I suppose you could put in an exit ad on the link to youtube. Why don't you just embed the Youtube videos into your site so they don't leave your site?

    Sending your visitors to another site, that is not yours (or a partner site) generally will not make you any money, or increase your traffic, it will just send the traffic you do have away.

    Yeah, the other possibility is to watch the YouTube videos in my site...the problem is that they could be a lot of videos and I would have to make content for each page...and this is too much work

    Put YouTube video feeds on your site through Google adsense to make money.

    Can someone explain how to do this?...don't have experience in feeds

    I can't upload the videos to my site because they are not mine...are from popular rock bands...and this is not permitted

    Yes. Join Google Adsense, click "Adsense setup", select "video units", then cut and paste the codes into your site.

    Yeah I read from a guy that put a great viral video and add an affiliate link on the description of the video, don't know how much he made, but millions of people saw it. So I assume he made a decent amount of money.

    Don't do this ( uploading MV to youtube )
    it will get your account suspended coz uploading copyrighted material.
    If you want to upload,email them and ask for their permission

    An affiliate link in the description of the video in YouTube?...ok, I will see some about it in YouTube...do you remember where to find this information?

    No, I want to send the visitors to videos that already exist in YouTube...anyway, I will write them to know if I can upload some videos I already have because they are of better quality that the ones I've found there.

    Many thanks jgekko and mentos
