Allow Embedding on a YouTube but Only for Specific Sites
-
Hello,
This is more of a technical question but does anyone know if it’s possible to allow embedding on YouTube videos only for specific sites? We want to restrict embedding on our videos but still be able to embed them on our domain.
I’m already listed as the primary owner and have the channel linked to my personal email (same email used to upload videos) but when I go to the below link mentioned on Google's Page for Restrict Embedding (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6301625) it says I don’t have permission to access that page for both my personal account and channel. The documentation states it's possible to "Block embedding on all sites or apps except for those URLs or app package names you enter in the text box." but I can't seem to find it. I can only find the option to turn it off/on completely.

I noticed my personal email hasn't been verified; would that make a difference here?
Any help or insight on how to approach this would be very much appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you!
Thank you in advance.

Enabling YouTube embedding for specific websites is a wise decision. It gives content creators control over where their videos are shared, ensuring that they are consistent with their brand or message. This restriction strikes a compromise between exposure and content integrity, protecting against misuse while encouraging a more personalized online presence.I usually recommend YouTube Vanced since it is really good and is free, as well as more secure.

Enabling embedding on YouTube while restricting it to specific websites is a smart move in the digital age. Embedding videos not only allows creators to expand their reach but also enhances user engagement and the overall online experience. However, it's equally crucial to maintain control over where your content is shared.
This feature strikes a balance between openness and control. By permitting embedding exclusively on chosen websites, content creators can ensure their videos are showcased on platforms that align with their values or complement their content. This can help prevent misuse or misrepresentation of their work on websites that may not adhere to the same standards.
Furthermore, this approach fosters collaboration between creators and website owners, encouraging partnerships and cross-promotion that can benefit both parties. It promotes responsible sharing and allows for a more personalized online presence.
In essence, allowing selective embedding on YouTube empowers content creators to curate their digital footprint, fostering a more controlled and purpose-driven online environment.

The content owner is something separate, where you register the content as unique and original. Theoretically, that way you would have the "right" to determine where the content can get posted/shared or not, and you will have the right to remove the video if other people share it, and even let it there and get the ad revenue that is generated from the said video.

Thank you very much for your help. When I check permissions I’m already listed as the primary owner. Would that be the same as being “accepted in Content ID as a Content Owner” or is that something separate?
Thanks again!

In order to configure embed blocking and whitelisting your website, it is required for your account to be accepted in Content ID as a Content Owner.
After being accepted as a Content Owner, you will have the option to "Allow on certain domains (in apps based on ID)" where you will be able to whitelist certain sites or apps for embedding your videos. You can read more about it here.
If you are not registered as a content owner, then there is currently no way to whitelist sites from embedding your video.

Ajax tabs on site
Hello, On a webpage I have multiple tabs, each with their own specific content. Now these AJAX/JS tabs, if Google only finds the first tab when the page loads the content would be too thin. What do you suggest as an implementation? With Google being able to crawl and render more JS nowadays, but they deprecated AJAX crawling a while back. I was maybe thinking of doing a following implementation where when JS is disabled, the tabs collapse under each other with the content showing. With JS enabled then they render as tabs. This is usually quite a common implementation for tabbed content plugins on Wordpress as well. Also, Google had commented about that hidden/expandable content would count much less, even with the above JS fix. Look forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks, Conrad

PDF on financial site that duplicates ~50% of site content
I have a financial advisor client who has a downloadable PDF on his site that contains about 9 pages of good info. Problem is much of the content can also be found on individual pages of his site. Is it best to noindex/follow the pdf? It would be great to let the few pages of original content be crawlable, but I'm concerned about the duplicate content aspect. Thanks --

Questions about turning my wordpress site into an ecommerce site. Experience needed.
I have a wordpress site that is about a product that is now getting some great traffic. Right now It has affiliate stuff on it. I want to sell my own product so I will be turning this wordpress site into an ecommerce site. I want to redesign it so I am not looking for simple plugins to just add a cart. The part I am really confused about is what to do with my posts and categories? How does that work when turning this site into an ecommerce site? Lets say the site is "hats for adults" My post pages are things like "funny hats for adults", "hats for adult men" etc etc. Would I turn these posts pages into like category pages that have a category of products. Or should I create real categories and have my developer turn those into the ecommerce category pages and then redirect my posts to those categories? Maybe I don't even know what I am talking about. Is this even making sense? This is a small site (5posts and 1 category) and most of the traffic will come from the homepage keywords anyways.

How to best utilize network of 50 sites to increase traffic on main site
Hey All, First off I wanna thank everyone who has responded to all my previous questions! Love to see a community that is so willing to help those who are learning the ropes! Anyways back to my point. We have a main site that is a PR 3 and our main focal point for lead generation. We recently acquired 50 additional sites (all with a PR of 1-3) that we would like to use as our own little back linking campaign with. All the domains are completely relevant to our main site as well as specific pages within our main site. I know that reciprocal links will get me no where and that google is quickly on to the attempted 3 way link exchange. My question is how do I best link these 50 sites to not only maintain there own integrity and PR but also assist our main site. Thanks All!
