I’m Not a Fan of Using YouTube Through Adsense

I’m sure you guys are tired of me talking about my funny videosite, The Masked Dispatcher’s Funny Video Collection, but Desty Online is about my experiences with online business. I have been working off of Court’s Internet Marketing School site for tips on how to get better rankings with the search engines.
While I do target some keywords for Desty Online, it’s mainly a web journal about my experiences, so I’m not seriously using his thoughts and ideas for DO, but I am going full bore with the Masked Dispatcher.
WordPress Theme Change, Again
Court has adapted a Wordpress theme to take into account his tips from his Keyword Sniping. It’s a really good looking theme and does great things for search engine optimization, so I downloaded it and am currently using it on Masked Dispatcher. I’ll be using it for my Wordpress BANS when I finally get it going.
YouTube Based Ads Through Adsense
I had been given some great advice by Michael Martine for my funny video site. You see, Michael was running a video of the day site before there were embedded videos. Michael suggested that I use the video units from Adsense. The video units create a video player that shows videos in a certain genre, that you select, and displays adsense ads in those ads. It’s a great idea, when they work.
The problem I’m having is that the player isn’t showing 100% of the time. When they don’t, you get a link “watch the latest videos on YouTube.com”, no ad. If I’m throwing some traffic at a video and have been getting a 10% click conversion, I need those ads to be up all the time!
I’ve taken the video units down and replaced them with the 468×60 half banners again. Maybe sometime in the future, the video units can be more reliable.

Yes, it’s as simple, or not so simple as that. Finding that niche, figuring out the best way to make money off that niche, then getting traffic to your site, that’s about it.
