    Hey,

    I'm in the process of developing a website with some YouTube videos (all clean). Additionally, I want to integrate Google Adsense.

    I know that recently Google bought YouTube etc.

    Some sites say that Adsense+YouTube=illegal and some say legal.

    What's the final on this?

    Quick reply appreciated.

    Thanks.

    If all you have is "youtube" content ,

    Its a BIG NO

    It infriges on trademark issues and its a NO go

    Is there a percentage or number of videos you can have?

    I would say only enough to support any content on the page.

    Don't take this as a definite answer. Just because someone else gets away with something illegal, doesn't mean you can do it too. If they make Google enough money, they'll be ignored. If they haven't done anything to get noticed, they might get lucky and slip through the cracks for a while.
