YouTube Connects Your Music Purchase

Posted by George

Maybe like me you listen to music on YouTube, I sometimes refer to it as my YouTube Radio or Youtubio. Now some music and video game YouTube movies will have advertising at the bottom of the viewing window where the movie plays. Says the Gmail Blog:

Today [October 7, 2008], we’re taking our first steps to providing YouTube users with this kind of instant gratification, by adding “click-to-buy” links to the watch pages of thousands of YouTube partner videos. Click-to-buy links are non-obtrusive retail links, placed on the watch page beneath the video with the other community features. Just as YouTube users can share, favorite, comment on, and respond to videos quickly and easily, now users can click-to-buy products — like songs and video games — related to the content they’re watching on the site. We’re getting started by embedding iTunes and Amazon.com links on videos from companies like EMI Music, and providing Amazon.com product links to the newly-released video game Spore(TM) on videos from Electronic Arts.

Now, if the price is right for those purchases that will be great, I already buy MP3′s from Amazon.com. Go YouTube! Here’s a good example of a YouTube wil embedded advertising:
