Do you want to harness the power of your Youtube video to drive traffic to your Blog?  If you are using Wordpress, you can easily embed video from YouTube into your blog posts. This article will show you how to do that, and once you complete the process once, you will be able to add more Youtube Video to your Blog Post in just seconds. 

Okay, here are the three key steps required to add Youtube Video to your Blog:

1. Upload Your Video to Youtube.
2. Download and install the Wordpress Plugin named “Smart Youtube.”
3. Place your embed code into your Wordpress Blog Post by copying the video URL from Youtube to your post and changing http:// to httpv:// (notice the ‘v’ character).  The video will be automatically embedded to your post in the proper way.

For example:

If you want to post a high quality/HD video you would use httpvh:// (‘vh’ for video high)

To embed a playlist use extension ‘vp’

Additionally, you can set how do you want the video to be displayed in your RSS feed. Smart Youtube can show the preview image of the video (automatically grabbed from Youtube), the link to the video, or both.  One recommendation is to enable only the preview image.
