Default Youtube vids are effecting my bounce rate

Has anyone figured out how to keep people from leaving a site though youtube videos. I'd say 5% of my bounce rate is because people are clicking on embeded vids!

I remember seeing something about it a 2-3 months ago but I cant find it.. any help would be great. Thanks -Jonathan

If I remember right you just add rel=0 at the end of the embed code url so it would look like :
embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=en&fs=1&rel=0"

Rel=0 is an important tag... it toggles "show related videos".

I'm looking for something that can disable the link, so users cannot exit the site through the videos.

I know its possible... I've seen someone offering the trick on the WF. At that time I didn't see the value

Hi Rastabloke

Try it without the "0"

rel="

Works for me.

Here's the link to the Warrior Forum post. This one uses "rel=0"
