INTERNET MARKETING

Hello guys,

Would anyone be able to tell me how this is possible please?

I have just seen a video on youtube - and towards the end - there were 4 images IN the video itself - that were hyperlinks. I am NOT talking about an annotation or a hyperlinked url below the video -- but clickable IMAGES (4 of them!) IN the actual video.

I was AMAZED I've never seen this before....

It looks so cool - and I always thought this was impossible to do.

Please take a quick look here:

YouTube - YouTube Video SEO - How to Optimize...

And the images appear in the video itself - at 2'19" into the video.

I still can't believe how this guy has done this - is this a new thing at youtube?

Thank you ever so much warriors,

Jenn x

Hey Jenny, I'm pretty sure you can do it after you upload your video onto the youtube site. I've seen it in quite a few videos recently too. It's probably likely to be in with the rest of the "annotations" area.

The images are in the original video. The annotations are added after the fact using Youtubes tools (notice the little red squares at the bottom of each image).

Certainly a clever use of annotations.

  Uh.....these are just annotations.
  
  A creative use of annotations....yes. But that is all.
  
  The only links you can use are links to other YouTube videos.
  
  Nice use of annotations, but not the best I've seen.
  
  One trick is to add 4 pictures a the end of the video and a title that says something like "Suggested Videos".....then link to 4 of your other videos.
  
  Also, if you use a little creativity you can utilize annotations a number of ways that will increase views to other videos or entertain users.
  
  Creating "quizzes" is one way.
  
  Thanks
