Not hard at all - I've been doing it for ages, because I know my video
is in many places, including iTunes, where people most likely see ONLY
the video itself. I'm experimenting with putting my URL at the
beginning as well as the end, and other approaches to "branding" my
videos.
I have no idea whether any of this actually brings people back to my
site, though I did get a nice email from a guy in Brazil once...
We little fish face the same problems the big boys do. NBC decided to
have the SNL clip removed, probably in hopes of getting people to go
see it on their own site, but they took a lot of heat for that
decision from marketing and media experts, who said (as has been
repeated here) that that viral video was the best thing to happen to
SNL in years.
There will always be gray areas between "this is good publicity" and
"this is piracy." It's up to you to decide for your own content where
to draw the line, but others may disagree with your analysis of your
own situation!
