YouTube embedded clips on your site
You can actually link to a small portion of a video clip, rather than the whole thing:
And a major potential problem for sites embedding a clip using YouTube’s generic copy-and-paste coding: when the clip has finished, YouTube by default inserts a range of thumbnail links to other video clips it believes are related to the topic. Problem is, they may not be, and at worst, can be very very inappropriate. But there is an easy way to stop these appearing, so that all that displays when the clip has finished is a ‘replay’ button. Just add &rel=0 to the end of both Youtube video URLs within the embedded code. This easy but little-known tip is so important that it deserves very wide circulation in the web world.

That’s a great tip (though I was scratching my head after reading the article until I realized the tip was in the comments). We at OurChurch.Com have been including an interesting/funny video in our monthly webmaster newsletters and encouraging our members to embed it in their sites for their visitors to watch. From now on we’ll be sure to use this setting to prevent the display of recommended videos at the end.

Better yet use Tangle (formerly GodTube) instead.

Thanks for the tip about adding “&rel=0″ to the YouTube clip. I’m embedding new marketing videos to product landing pages on our website (see http://peoplekey.com/index.cfm/do/landing/id/1/) and didn’t want YouTube to display competitors’ videos right after our video stopped playback. Your simple tip saved the day!
Many thanks,
Justin
Thank you for posting this tip!
I have an expensive product on my website and the related videos suggested by YouTube were obnoxious and juvenile. Your tip has helped a lot.
Thanks again!!
