I do (actually attempt to do) affiliate marketing, if that's the right term. I incorporate sponsor videos into my sites, but outside of WordPress, I have no clue as to how to hyperlink an embedded video. I don't even know if it is possible. I have search Google and cannot anything other than dealing with youtube. So my question is, is it possible to hyperlink an embedded video? If it is, where can I find information about how to do it? I am not looking for anything fancy, a simple, basic way to show videos on my site and have them hyperlinked to a sponsor. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this . . .
Hi, I am trying to comprehend the question but I think you should read a little about HTML5 as this is a simple knowledge.
It is somewhat similar to how you add a background to a video, when you can add a background image to a video then you can add a hyperlink as well, I am not a expert on this, but you can probe the HTML a bit and you will find the answer. #bg-video { background: url('poster.jpg') no-repeat; background-size: cover; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: auto; z-index: -1; }
Thanks enlightened, but that is not quite what I am trying to find out about. To clarify my question and clear things up, below is the code for a WordPress plugin that does exactly what I am looking for: [hana-flv-player video="path to whatever video to play" width="600" height="450" player="5" autoload="true" autoplay="false" loop="false" autorewind="true" clickurl="url to external site" clicktarget="_self" splashimage="path to whatever image" /] Since this is a WordPress plugin, it will not work with anything other than WordPress. What I am trying to find out is if there is a way to do something like this for a website built from self-coding? I am referring to "clickurl="url to external site"
Yes I am aware of it, u want a code to add it into a HTML page, and not in wordpress. If it was wordpress then of course there are plugins for it. Anyways try this link : http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/want-enhance-youtube-videos-clickable-links-heres/ Let me know if that was of any help. It is lengthy BUT it will tell you how to add a affiliate URL to the video when you use embed code.
You can set your embed on autoplay, and then hyperlink it to any link via an overlay: http://jsfiddle.net/fdsaP/973/
Ok, so you've been duped into a get rich quick scam with all the legitimacy of a 3AM infomercial, do go on... "sponsor video" is a disturbing concept in and of itself, but I'm wondering why you'd even have a video that's a link... are you trying to piss off users by having them auto-play or something? The question makes no sense, and reeks of trying to piss off visitors to whatever site you are building...
