New format includes the option for an intro trailer.

 

As an aside, in searching Youtube for Gymnastic Bodies, the GB channel actually is fairly far down the first page. Not sure why that is, if we can affect it, or if it's even important.

I am thorougly disenchanted with YouTube.

 

- Once again another random page reorganization that serves no real purpose.

 

- Branded youtube banners are randomly handed out to people with only 74 views while we, with nearly 4 million views, appear to be able to make no traction.  And this despite our repeatedly filling out the necessary paperwork as well as opening our videos to their ad placements; a prerequisite to be considered for the nice brand development banners.

 

- The click thru rate from youtube to GB.com has been abysmal.  I believe 1,100 in a six month period.

 

All that being said, if it is possible to reorganize the page to look descent (the new format looks terrible) without a huge investment of time, we should do so.

 

Here are two channels which seem to have done consistently well with YT:
