Have you tested LinkedTube? LinkedTube is simple but smart flash widget tool that will enable you to create clickable links over YouTube videos with your own embed code. The created link appears as a floating button over the video and can be used to link directly to your blog, website, product page or anything else. Even other people can get the code and share it on their websites.
With LinkedTube, you can create custom YouTube video link widget in less than a minute. It has a simple form where you can enter the YouTube video id or URL, your own link text, link URL, hover title and hover text. That’s it! Your video link is ready. Just save and get the code to embed it on your blog, website or anywhere on the Internet. This simple tool also offers an option to specify how the link button appears. You can set it to show always, show on hover or never show.
In my view, it is the simplest third party solution to insert a link layer above YouTube videos. You can use it to make your videos more viral, as unlike ordinary YouTube videos, the embeddable video created with LinkedTube links back directly to your site. And when other people shares your video, they all will link back to your site! Got it? Why don’t you give it a try?

definitely am going to have to check LinkedTube. I use YouTube for instructional videos and also promoting things. Thanks for the heads up post about it
I used linkedtube, but the button does not go anywhere, or open any new windows. checked and double checked the accuracy of the url
Thanks for pointing this resource out. Very neat and works perfectly.

I’m glad that you found it useful. Thanks for leaving your comment.
is there anyway to do multiple links on a timeline like annotations
Nah.. the button did not show up on my you tube videos. Is it possible to save the button on my you tube video as permanent button?
So that even if im searching in you tube i can click the button on that certain videos.
No need code anymore… the button must be already on my you tube video after i saved it. Can you do it for me?..
Great Post,
would take me forever to figure out myself. Working new video right this moment…
Hi, thanks for the info. I will try the LinkedTube.
