For a while I’ve been using YouTube videos on my affiliate sites, and since starting that I’ve taken my bounce rate down to around 65% (Oh, I use pretty themes, too, I’m sure that helps – Flexibility 3 is one of my fave’s)…but there is a problem with using YouTube viddies.
If you’re making sales like I am, you might notice at the end of the videos, you get served a host of recommended videos – not always complimentary to keeping traffic on site.
Edit: Yep. Michelle just informed me that YouTube has an option to remove those videos and I have never seen it. So don’t get this player for that! :D
And they’re hoakey looking (YouTube vids I mean), at least when compared to what you can do once you have this plugin: Traffic Player.
This is the big advantage, really the only one – that you can make your videos and site stand out from your competitors. For that, the thing rawks. Spell check that if you want to.
I want to review this on a full splash page, so go here to my Traffic Player review.
[Thanks for the head's up, Michelle!]

You do know that you can have it not display suggested videos simply by unchecking the box that says “Show suggested videos when the video finishes”, right?

Ha! Now she tells me. No – I didn’t know that, do you mean for when you upload or when you use others’ videos?

Thanks for doing so, I can’t argue with the look of my sites with the player on. Shnazzy.

The YouTube player has several options available but not many people use them.
