The ad is created by YouTube specially for its homepage.If you already have a well running blog and you're going to start a new YouTube channel and want to transfer your visitors to YouTube , this is a very good way to do it.
This is a little trick of a URL only.You have to make a iframe tag on your blog or website' HTML like below.
<iframe width="900" height="250" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
But wait! We didn't added value of src attribute.Now what will be inside src that's the great thing.
Now let's get started!
1.1 PREPARING THE SRC
I have given a little table below in which I have mentioned about some properties and their values.The main URL be like this-https://www.youtube.com/video_masthead? .After question mark ,all there will be the properties and their values both separated by '&'
