Have you bought Google AdWords Video [actually it's called "YouTube Promoted Videos" -dt] before? I'm confused about whether the CPM bid for 1000 "plays" or 1000 "opportunities to play" the video on YouTube? Thx for any help! Their explanations are both automated and opaque.

Just loaded my first video up to YouTube and it came out great, except that for some reason, Apple's iMovie 11 program has it marked to be "private" even though I specified "public" when I did the upload. What's up? How do I fix it?

Naysays aside, I'm a big fan of Google Plus and find it's a great tech audience, perfect for my job. Part of what I do is produce and upload videos to YouTube too, and I'd really like to be able to hook the two together so videos I upload on YouTube automatically also show up on Google Plus. Possible? How?

I've been having fun making weird videos and uploading them to YouTube. What I really want to do, though, is share them with my friends on Twitter and Facebook. What's the easiest way to share a YouTube video on Facebook?

Okay, I made a short video of my dog chasing his tail and want to upload it to YouTube so I can get millions of views and maybe get a guest shot on Conan or Tosh2.0. How do I upload my movie to YouTube?

I've had a Netflix subscription since I got my iPad so I could gain access to their streaming movie library, but I now realize that I haven't actually launched the Netflix iPad app for over a month. So it's time to quit Netflix. How do I most easily do that, Dave?

I want to add a YouTube search box to my Web site. Can it be done?

Hi Dave. I wanted to show my 12th grade a documentary about Fermat's Last Theorem. I was planning to send them the link via e-mail, and have them watch it at home. But the link (below) has a porn site listed under "related videos", so I don't feel that I can send it to them.

Do you know of a way for me to download that video onto my computer?

I have a friend's e-mail address and I want to send them a file from my computer. How do I send it to them by e-mail?

Thanks to your articles and some experimentation on my part, I have figured out how to make videos on my new Apple iPhone 3GS. My question is: how do I upload these videos directly to YouTube as I keep reading you can do?

One of the cool new features of the Apple iPhone 3GS is the ability to take videos. Nice, but I can't figure out how to get to the video camera? I know how to take photos, though, so I figure it's related to the iPhone camera (rather obviously, eh?) I have also heard that you can edit the video right there on the iPhone, but I don't believe it. I mean, isn't the screen too darn small?

In previous blog entries (see How do I sponsor searches on Google? and Advertising cannot be your only online marketing channel), I've talked about how to use paid services to promote your business online, focusing specifically on Google Adwords and how it lets your company appear as "sponsored" results on a search page. Then we talked last week about the distressingly ephemeral nature of paid advertising and explored examples of how mindshare rapidly declines once you stop paying.

The solution to the dilemma, the path to sustained visibility in the online world, is to understand the gestalt of Google, if you will, the core concept behind modern Internet search engines. Once you understand how they work, you'll see how you can rethink your online presence to maximize results without paying the proverbial arm and a leg.

In a word: content.

I've been a prolific commentator on YouTube in the entertainment channel and, well, now I regret some of the comments I left. Is there any way to go back and delete any of them?

I want to use my Mac as a sort of digital video recorder (DVR) by capturing movies from Hulu and other streaming services, then saving them for later viewing while on plane flights. Is that doable? If so, what's the easiest solution?

Only a few years ago this question might have not been so clear. But here we are today wondering where this is going to go. Lots of questions to ponder. Is television turning into the Web?

Will we be watching former television shows online in the future? If so, how soon? Will our televisions become obsolete eventually because everyone will be focused on their computer screens? Do we even want to watch television programming online?

And… will the government stand in our way or not?

I'm addicted. First it was America's Funniest Home Videos, now it's YouTube. There are just too darn many hilarious videos on the site. What I really want, though, is to be able to add a YouTube search to my own site so people can easily find all the funny stuff there. Is that doable?

I just got involved in a charity event we're planning for later in 2008 and one component of it is going to be a series of videos we release through YouTube. Is there some way that people can find out about them without us having to send out a never-ending series of press releases or updates?

Is there a way I can use Web phenomena such as MySpace and YouTube to get more clicks on my affiliate site?

I read a ton of blogs every day and sometimes I see a video from YouTube that someone's included on their entry. I know how to do that [see Add YouTube Video to your Blog for a tutorial] but how do I easily copy a video from one page to another?

I keep finding these great videos on YouTube and want to include some of them in my Typepad blog but I have no idea how to do that. I tried dragging and dropping while I was composing an entry, but was totally unsurprised when it didn't work either. Can it be done?

I've been blogging for a while now and am having a good time, but I'm now a bit puzzled about how to expand into the next wave of content: video. Specifically, I bump into funny or informative videos on Google Video but have no idea whether I can embed it on my own page and if I can, how to do that. Can you offer some pointers?
