How do you turn off ads on your YouTube videos?
-
How do you remove ads that pop up on your youtube videos? I have created several videos only to have my competitors ad be the first thing to show up on the videos. Curious how you turn that off.

@RobDalton Here are a few things you can do to minimize ads impact:
-
Enable monetization: By monetizing your YouTube channel, you have more control over the types of ads that appear. While you may not be able to block specific competitor ads, you can at least generate some revenue from the ads that do appear.
-
Targeted keywords: Optimize your video titles, descriptions, and tags with relevant keywords to attract viewers who are specifically interested in your content. This may help YouTube's algorithm to prioritize showing ads that align better with your target audience, reducing the chances of competitor ads appearing.
-
Build a loyal subscriber base: Encourage viewers to subscribe to your channel, as subscribers tend to receive fewer ads. When you have a strong subscriber base, your videos are more likely to be recommended to your subscribers, reducing the chances of competitor ads appearing for them.
-
Use YouTube's ad targeting options: Although you can't specifically block competitor ads, YouTube provides some targeting options for advertisers. By exploring these options, you may be able to prevent certain categories of ads from appearing on your videos, which can indirectly reduce the chances of competitor ads.
-
Report inappropriate ads: If you come across any competitor ads that violate YouTube's ad policies or guidelines, you can report them to YouTube. While this may not directly remove the ads from your videos, it can help YouTube enforce its policies and improve the overall ad experience.
Remember, ads are an essential part of YouTube's revenue model, and complete control over which ads appear on your videos may not be possible.

Unfortunately, as a content creator on YouTube, you don't have direct control over the specific ads that appear on your videos. YouTube's advertising system determines which ads are displayed based on various factors like user preferences and advertiser targeting.
However, you can try a few things to have some influence over the ads:
Exclude advertisers: YouTube allows you to exclude specific advertisers from showing ads on your channel. Although it's not a guaranteed solution, it can help reduce the chances of your competitors' ads appearing. You can access this option in YouTube Studio > Settings > Monetization > Advertiser Exclusions.
Block ad categories: You can choose to block certain ad categories from displaying on your videos. While it won't target your competitors directly, it can help you avoid ads from specific industries or content types. Look for this option in YouTube Studio > Settings > Monetization > AdSense Categories.
Content ID system: If your competitors are using your content in their ads without permission, you can use YouTube's Content ID system. This helps protect your original content by allowing you to assert ownership and take appropriate actions, like requesting the removal of unauthorized use.
Keep in mind that YouTube's ad system is dynamic and ever-changing, so you can't have complete control over the ads displayed. However, using these settings and tools can give you some influence over the types of ads shown to viewers.

To disable ads on your YouTube videos, you must meet the eligibility criteria for YouTube's Partner Program. Once approved, go to YouTube Studio, select the "Monetization" tab, and disable monetization for individual videos or your entire channel. Additionally, you can use ad-blocking software or subscribe to YouTube Premium for an ad-free viewing experience. As for Twitch, ads on Twitch cannot be turned off by streamers, as they are an essential part of the platform's revenue model. However, Twitch offers an ad-free experience to its subscribers through Twitch Turbo, a premium subscription service. -

@bigkahuna111 My issue is I have ads appearing that I am not making money off of that are my competitors. It is not a monetization issue.
-
@G7Auto Nice. I actually did not know that. For this specific question though my main concern is my target audience because they are seeing ads of my competitors on my videos.
-
In order to have ads appear on your videos, you must have been approved for the YouTube Partner Program .
Go to your monetization tab and simply turn off monetization for any of your videos where you don't want any ads to appear.
-
@crocs81 Recommend you to add AdBlock extension to your Chrome. This plugin will skip all the ads on Youtube videos
-
Yeah, I tried that, but monetization is not turned on at all since I do not have enough followers, etc.

That's the Downside to using third party video hosting. Now is this on YouTube or on an embedded video on your site? A good work around on your site is to make all of your videos play as part of a playlist so it goes into more of your content. On YouTube, you can go into your video settings and turn off ads. Makes since, especially if you're not seeing any ad revenue. We have a client that does solar hot water heater installations and we had a similar issue. Feel free to contact us if you need any webdesign or seo help.

Can you transcribe your youtube video to just google?
YouTube videos have been very effective for us on our site. The only problem is they have taken part of a fair amount of our content so to google our pages may seem to have minimal content. Transcribing each video and including that on the page would take away from the look of the page and clutter it. Is there a way to let google know the content without having to include it on the page? You can find an example page at https://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/halii-kai-rentals/

Videos perform poorly on facebook...why?
I have a facebook page with 42,000 Real fans. Images, screenshots, links, questions, etc all perform well. But videos get 0 interaction. If I get 5 likes that is saying something. Why would facebook not send out my videos to people? Is there a way to increase them? It is very frustrating to post our youtube videos to get no response. My fans are most 13-30 yr old gamers, so videos should be right up their alley.

Does Google prefer YouTube video's embedded on a site or put in a Pop up image class for SEO purposes
Our company is an eCommerce site for aftermarket automotive accessories, we have been posting videos on our site. On some pages we have videos embedded from Youtube and on other pages the videos are embedded but in a Popup Image Class. Below I'll provide an example of one way we put the popup image class on our site <iframe id="vidf" style="display:none;" width="460" height="320" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MattCutts?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Now concerning SEO would it be better just to embed a video the traditional way or use the popup image class? The reason I ask is because the popup image class hides the video on the page with an image on top then once you click that image the video pops up. Can Google still crawl/see the video? What would be best practice for SEO?

Youtube and SEO
Hello, For a game site I would like to use Youtube for SEO purposes. And I need a little advice on this. How would you use these video's without spamming? There are a lot of tactics to use Youtube. Create channel and put your desired url in the profile (link back to your site), Put your desired url in in the description of the video (link back to your site), Put the created youtube video also on your own site to drive traffic to youtube, and back. And get views. Put a created channel on your own site to drive traffic to youtube, and back. And get views. Other tactics I don't know.... Can someone advice me what tactics I can use without spamming, I'm afraid that if I use combinations of the above mentioned tactics I get an unnatural linkprofile.... Thank you in advance.

Does adding your google plus page help stop scrapping
I have created a site that has 100 percent original content in my business category. I have written over 100 articles myself that not only to help me rank, but most important to help the use find the right anwser to their search. I didn't farm out not one sentence of any of the content. With that said how do I prevent others from scrapping my site for this info and using it as their own. 1. Is there something to add to each page code wise that will lead them back to my site. 2. Does using the google plus help this situation in that google thinks it's yours and treats the others as duplicate content. 3. I dont mind placing this info on other sites as long as the readers know its mine. Sorry to ask such a noob question but I have spent all my time on the content and really know nothing about the coding side of things. Any help would be great. thanks

Why has SEOmoz added G+ code to multiple pages?
Hi, If you look at SEOmoz's Blog pages, you'll see they have added the G+ rel="publisher" code. On http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1708844 Google says: "A rel="publisher" link from the main page of your website to your Google+ page." Is there any benefit to putting this code into the sites template (adding it to every page of the site) when it could be added to just the homepage? Not a criticism, just curious to know how I should implement the code on my own site (concerned that adding it to the site template is a kind-of link out on every page of my site) Cheers FashionLux

What can Google tell from a video?
I notice that Youtube apparently does kind of an automatic transcription. What can Google tell about a video? Is it comparing text from a voice recognition transcript? Can it take compare the waveform of a video signal and see how different a video is from another video? I'm putting together a variety of videos that are similar for different pages and wondering how much do I have to change for each video. I remember one time I attempted to launch a video that was an exact copy but with a different file name, title and tags and Youtube said, "hey, that's the same video!" Thanks!
