Will Google slap for having youtube video on adsense site?

Hi all,
I'm building my first big adsense site. I read a post on another forum that said Google does not like it if you embed youtube videos in a post but rather, it is acceptable to embed into pages. They said you will get slapped if you imbed a video into a post. Has anyone heard of this?
I am currently building a site that will need quite a few videos.

thanks,

ritchie

    Whats the difference between the two and WHY would google do that? There's virtually no difference between a post and a page.

      I got this info off a 3 month old post on another forum. No, it doesn't sound quite right because you would think that google would love it if relevant youtube videos were infested across the internet.

      I just wondered if anyone heard of such a thing--google smack for putting a youtube video on a blog post where there are comments.

      Here is an excerpt from that post:

      "When a site isn't doing anything for me, I blow it up with as much video as I can. Go to youtube, enter your niche title and start grabbing appropriate clips to embed. For each video, add a 200-300 word comment so there's some context. Embed the videos on pages with current content. Meaning, don't make a post with a video, comment and adsense block...Google doesn't like this and will smack the crap out of your site some more."

      That's what I read. The thread was too old to reply with a question. I thought that there might be someone knowledgeable here who who decipher this or call it nonsense--one way or the other.

      thanks,

      Ritchie

        What he described sounded like WPRobot, posting trashy content with a Youtube video. What exactly is "blow it up with as much video as I can"? Post 300 pages in a single day? And what's "smack the crap out of your site some more"? Deindex? Sandbox? Drop ranks?

        All I can say is this:

        "No, it doesn't sound quite right because you would think that google would love it if relevant youtube videos were infested across the internet."

        I guess you answered your own question. Don't worry about it.

    I am with "Cosmit".

    My main AdSense site has YouTube videos on most pages already and I continue adding video to new pages as I build them.

    I would not be doing this if I believed or had any doubts whether Google was going to penalize my site.

    I hope that this helps.

      Why would they penalize you? Every site in the free world
      has youtube videos...why do you think they mostly include
      an embed code? For their health?

      You cannot violate any of youtube's TOS. ALL adsense
      sites must not break any TOS for any google product.

      Who doesn't embed videos? You'd be a full not to if it fits.

      If you want to know what you can and can't do with youtube,
      read their terms. One of them is that you must have sufficient
      value on your site without the videos. Very subjective, obviously.
      What they don't want is a site that is using youtube videos as its
      primary content. Like I said, subjective, but a logical person would
      know what that means.

      Embedding a youtube video in a blog is perfectly acceptable, as long
      as you follow the rules.
