Some things are almost too easy. Take for example embedding a Youtube video in the body of your WordPress blog post. What could be simpler? Get the link, paste it into your post. Except if you miss one little, non-intuitive detail your video clip wont show up and you’ll be left scratching your head.
In this video SEO consultant and trainer Ross Barefoot does a quick tutorial and points out the main pitfall to watch out for. He also explains why it’s a good idea to compose a blog post for videos that you post on Youtube. Total Video length is just under 6 minutes, so it’s a quick watch.

Ross Barefoot got his start in small business managing an importing company in the bicycle industry. While there, he tried his hand at programming to find more effective ways to track, market and sell his company’s range of bicycle parts. He loved the web marketing side of things so much he became a professional web developer in 2001, starting a website design business in Western Colorado. He took his first SEO certification course from the Search Engine Academy in 2002, followed it up with another in 2004, and decided to jump full time into SEO training and consulting in 2011, becoming a Master Certified Instructor with the Search Engine Academy, where he continues to serve on the Board of Directors. Today, Ross is CTO, trainer and chief SEO strategist at Horizon Web Marketing (www.horizonwebmarketing.com), a full-service digital marketing agency based in Las Vegas.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.
Yanira, Thanks for the question. I normally check for dupe content using a service called copyscape.com. The next step is to send an email to the offending webmaster demanding that they take it down. If that doesn’t work you can report them to Google for copyright violation and Google could potentially remove them form their index. Since they usually are doing the dupe content in order to rank well, this tends to provide a disincentive to copying you.
