Hi,

first, I know that adsense is not allowed on WP.com.

But why not allow showing the ads in monetarized YouTube videos?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Maybe you would like to propose that to the WordAds Team by using this link http://wordads.co/contact/

They actually DO allow it. I’ve made a few hundred dollars that way.

@timethief, thank you, I sent them a message

@raincoaster, that’s irony, right?

You are more than welcome to embed YouTube videos with ads in them.

Is something preventing you from doing that? If so, would you please describe the problem?

Hi James,

thanks for your reply.

I can embed those videos but the ads are not showing in them. I mean the so called “TrueView In-Stream-ads”, a short clip before the actual video. I asked my readers and they also can’t see those video ads in my embed YouTube videos on the blog.

Is WP.com maybe preventing this?

You can take a look for example at some of my articles with embed monetarized YouTube videos:

Thanks for your help

No, we don’t interfere with YouTube videos in any way. Some YouTube videos do not show ads when embedded (anywhere, not just WordPress.com). I’m not sure exactly why, but that’s been a behavior of YouTube embeds for quite some time.

Some videos with ads, like music videos on the Vevo channel, will show ads in embeds, others won’t.

If these are your own videos on YouTube, you might want to ask YouTube why they aren’t running ads in your embeds.

I won’t close it, but I can assure you that we don’t remove any ads from embedded YouTube videos on our end. :)

If you don’t see ads in a YouTube video embedded here, you won’t see ads in it embedded anywhere else.

Found it.

YouTube: “Embedded videos will only show AdSense overlay ads…”

It’s better to provide links to your posts rather than embedding YouTube videos…. Best idea ;)
