I figure I learn something new everyday, might as well post it somewhere!
I ran into quite the pickle about 6 months back while working on a motorcycle site that used tons of YouTube videos. One night my client called me pretty late, distressed that one of the videos on their home page was advertising for another “related” YouTube video involving naked woman and sexual acts. It was EXTREMELY important that I get these creditability destroying images off of their site ASAP.
At first I had no idea that YouTube saw these videos was related, so it took me some time find the solution as I didn’t know they were called “Related Videos”. Since then I have had to look this up a few times as I don’t need it often and keep forgetting. Here it is, I wish all my problems were this simple!

Simply add rel=0 to the end of the YouTube video link in the object embed tag.
For example: http://www.youtube.com/v/OjfpGTCHjf4&rel=0
Hope this helps someone somewhere 
My name is Erica and I am a web-aholic.
It seems as though the web industry is full of us who sleep / breath / and eat the internet. We fall asleep thinking about the navigation structure on our next project. We walk around thinking about new computers and better processes.
I work full-time in the industry for a company, as well as own my own. I have my hands in many many projects, many ventures, many start-ups and am a pretty busy girl. I enjoy freelancing, and have a very prominent entrepreneur spirit. I love helping others with their business.
Great Tip!
Thank you Erica
