Hi all. I'm rebuilding my tech/video blog and I'm thinking of a way to monetize my YU chanel by embedding videos on blog pages.
Of course banners are an option but I was thinking about adds on those videos as well. any ideas on that!?
thanks.

Good to separate two different goals that keep coming up in the thread: (A) have YouTube serve ads on embedded videos so the channel earns, and (B) run ads on the blog itself so the site owner earns. The mechanics and requirements are different for each, so the choice drives implementation. ()

For channel-first monetization (what and were discussing): eligibility is handled through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). Current thresholds and the sign-up/review flow are documented (examples: 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 1,000 subs + 10M valid Shorts views in 90 days). Linking an AdSense-for-YouTube account and accepting YPP terms is required; YouTube may still serve ads even before YPP acceptance, but revenue share is controlled by YPP rules. ()

For site-first monetization (what was exploring with the Brid plugin and VAST/VPAID tags): serving ads on a site requires either (1) hosting video on the site or (2) using a player that can accept VAST/VMAP ad tags and connect to an ad server/SSP (Google Ad Manager, Magnite/SpotX, etc.). VPAID is being phased out—implementations should target VAST 4.x and the newer measurement/interactivity standards (OMID/SIMID) to avoid future compatibility problems. Practical players/plugins include Video.js + the IMA/VAST plugin and other commercial players; ad servers expect properly formed VAST/VMAP tags and CORS-friendly responses. (iabtechlab.com)

Quick troubleshooting checklist (embedded YouTube ads not appearing): confirm the channel’s monetization/AdSense state and that embedding is allowed; ensure the page/player meets YouTube’s brand-safety and player-size requirements (YouTube recommends a minimum visible size and standard click-to-play embeds rather than scripted autoplay); test a VAST tag in a debug player when serving site-side ads and verify CORS & IMA/SDK integration. For sponsorships/brand deals, FameBit was acquired and folded into YouTube BrandConnect — an alternative route to monetization for eligible creators. ()

Summary tie-back: ’s Brid/VAST approach is viable for site revenue but needs current VAST/OMID support and an ad server partner; the fastest path to getting ads on embedded YouTube videos that pay the channel is to complete YPP/AdSense steps and follow YouTube’s embed requirements.

Sure, why not? Adsense has become increasingly better at providing relevant advertising on websites and embedded video so you can be sure that a user will see ads geared more to their specific demographic which will help keep them engaged. I don't see anything wrong with it as it just provides a secondary revenue stream for a website owner.

Although adsense is the preferred way to go for advertising on youtube you do need to meet their guidelines which can take awhile. Let us know how your solution works out for you!

You can try display adds to monetize your videos. By the way, MgCash Media has really good display adds you can use

MichaelKross...thanks will see what Mg is all about.

As for video plugin works great. They do not rep their publishers for actually setting you up with ad tags. You are free to use any VAST/VPAID compliant tags with your players and that works for me :-)
