YouTube “Related” Videos - Sex is Doing Some Selling

Sometimes I like to post YouTube videos in blog posts, partly for relevancy and partly for humor.

In a recent post regarding print Yellow Pages, I included a YouTube video based on a Monty Python skit. At the end of it, you now see this.

Soft porn brought to you by YouTube

It basically points you to this video (it’s pretty harmless PG-13, but you might not want to play it at work).

For this blog, it’s harmless and I suppose sex sells. What about a corporate blog that utilizes YouTube? Would a related video like this help or hurt?

Since the YouTube video was a Monty Python skit, a video like this is probably more likely to appear. Another related video does show the “PC vs Mac” commercial, which is pretty funny in itself.

    You find similar on Google Videos right now, too.

    And because videos are parsed on meta-data, it shouldn’t be that hard for porn and casino merchants to manipulate some stuff into irrelevant results….
