    Does anyone know whether Youtube allows watermarked videos with your url in it? And putting your url in the video description? For instance a link to my affiliate products.

    Thanks in advance

    Yes you can, if you're original creator and you've uploaded the content from your account.

    How do you get lots of video views? I know if your video is good users will pass it around but is there a different way to get more views? What about adding lots of friends, posting video responses with your videos?

    Is there really any need to use insults? I didn't see the point in starting a new thread just for my question and I was hoping maybe either yourself or the other poster would be able to provide an answer given that you may have more experience on the subject.

    However, if you really are offended because I asked question in your thread then I'm sorry.

    Yes, bobchrist is right. You can upload videos with your url as watermark if you're the original creator of the video. I don't think it is allowed to put the url in the title or description as it probably will be considered as spam.

    Yes, youtube allows watermarked videos. But if you watermark the video, make sure its your original production. And not something you recorded of TV.

    I have around 318 videos on my youtube account. Every video I publish has my website name on it, and some are watermarked the entire length of the video. If you want to take a look, here is a link to my channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/survivalistboards Watermarking is just a way to protect your property.


    URL - to your site, yes. URL to your store, I am not sure about that. But I dont see why not?

    Every video I published has a link to my site is on the very first line. There are a lot of websites and website owners that use youtube for promotion. Warner brothers records has a youtube channel with hundreds of music videos. They even have a link to a couple of online stores were people can buy the song they are watching off youtube. So if warner bros. records can do it, why not you?
