Embeding youtube videos- clear view history before embeding on your site.

I don't know if you have noticed,but when you embed a video related to your content. After the video has played on your site,Youtube will suggest other videos based on your view history or related content. I sometimes will do a lot of research and use Youtube to find content related videos. Some of the videos that show up will contradict your topic and when you embed a selected video, at the end will be those suggested videos including the ones that you don't want. For instance, I wrote a new post about new car buying since I worked at a new car dealer for 8 years. I wanted to give the reader a view of the way salespeople are trained in order to empower the reader with knowledge. After publishing my post, I always go to my website to see if any corrections are needed. I watched one of my videos all the way through and behold these unwanted suggested videos showed up. Some were made by salesmen imitating an instructor and made statements that seemed to contradict my content. This is not good at all.

What you want to do is bookmark the videos that you want to use. Then delete the viewed history on Youtube by going to their menu icon in the upper left corner (3 horizontal bars). It will warn you that all of your history will be lost, but at least it will not show up after the video that you selected is finished. This has worked so far for me, but check your site regularly since Youtube seems to be in the content business now.

Just making sure that you don't step in the same stuff that I did.
