          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.

          https://www.youtube.com/content_owner_settings

          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.
          Best,

            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.

                You can learn more about content ID here.

                  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.

                      Shopify Site with Multiple Domains?

                      Hey there! My client has a website on Shopify. I don't even know how to open this can of worms, but let me try. The site URL is:  https://mobilityequipmentforless.com/ However, there is another (older?) URL that gets updated as the main site gets updated and shows the exact same content. It's a straight duplicate, but is it's own URL and doesn't redirect to the main site. https://www.powerchairrecyclers.com/ And this isn't the SITE.Shopify back-end site name that was used for set up initially. I just have no idea what's going on here. Not sure if it's a serious error that needs to be fixed, or if it's something weird with how Shopify work. Any insight would be immensely helpful. Thanks! Mike

                      Hi, I have been speaking to seo firms regarding strategies and they mentioned setting up micro sites under domains that are relevant. i.e setting up armanidoamin.co.uk and we use it as a blog type site to update all info, product reviews, news relating to armani. Whats peoples thoughts on this? Does it work? Is it worth the effort? Im not so sure but obviously looking for ideas. Cheers

                      Duplicate content on ecommerce sites

                      duplicate content

                      I just want to confirm something about duplicate content. On an eCommerce site, if the meta-titles, meta-descriptions and product descriptions are all unique, yet a big chunk at the bottom (featuring "why buy with us" etc) is copied across all product pages, would each page be penalised, or not indexed, for duplicate content? Does the whole page need to be a duplicate to be worried about this, or would this large chunk of text, bigger than the product description, have an effect on the page. If this would be a problem, what are some ways around it? Because the content is quite powerful, and is relavent to all products... Cheers,

                      Splitting a Site into Two Sites for SEO Purposes

                      I have a client that owns a business that really could be easily divided into two separate business in terms of SEO.  Right now his web site covers both divisions of his business. He gets about 5500 visitors a month.  The majority go to one part of his business and around 600 each month go to the other. So about 11% I'm considering breaking off this 11% and putting it on an entirely different domain name.  I think I could rank better for this 11%.  The site would only be SEO'd for this particular division of the company.  The keywords would not be in competition with each other. I would of course link the two web sites and watch that I don't run into any duplicate content issues. I worry about placing the redirects from the pages that I remove to the new pages.  I know Google is not a fan of redirects.  Then I also worry about the eventual drop in traffic to the main site now.  How big of a factor is traffic in rankings? Other challenges include that the business services 4 major metropolitan areas. Would you do this?  Have you done this?  How did it work? Any suggestions?

                      How To Best Close An eCommerce Site?

                      We're closing down one of our eCommerce sites. What is the best approach to do this? The site has a modest link profile (a young site). It does have a run of site link to the parent site. It also has a couple hundred email subscribers and established accounts. Is there a gradual way to do this? How do I treat the subscribers and account holders? The impact won't be great, but I want to minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Thanks.
