The Village Vet Douglas : Dec the Vet

YouTube have a safety setting so parents can allow children to browse YouTube with less risk of seeing offensive material. YouTube make it clear that use of the safety feature does not gaurantee a block of all explicit material.

How do you set up the safety feature on YouTube?

1. To avail of this facility you need to have a YouTube account.
   It is more effective if you implement the safety settings through a parent account as in this way even if your child has their own account they still cannot change the safety settings which apply to the computer as a whole.
   If your child does not have a YouTube account but just browses YouTube on your computer the safety setting will still apply.
   However if the child has their own computer or if there are other computers in the house they can use, you need to login to your YouTube account on each computer and set the safety mode.
2. To open an account on YouTube- sign up here! If you already have an account go to step 3
3. Once you are logged into your account, scroll down to the bottom of the page where you should see the following:
   
4. When you click on the word ‘Off’ which is a link you will get a new message (see image below).
5. Click on the ‘Unlock Safety Mode setting’ button and you will be asked to log in again.
   Once you do and go back down to the Safety Mode as seen in the first image the new message will now allow you to choose either On or Off.
6. When you choose ‘On’ and click on the ‘Save and lock…’ button the page will return to the top with a message saying ‘Successfully locked Safety Mode setting on this browser’.
7. Now all you have to do is log out of YOUR account.
8. If, after logging out, you go back to the bottom of the page it should say ‘Safety Mode: On’ and when you click on the word ‘On’ you will see the following message

This means that even if your child logs in using their own account they cannot change the Safety Settings.

IMPORTANT

• You have to do this for each browser i.e. FireFox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Etc. on your pc.
• It has to be done using your account, so you have control of when it is turned off.
• This does not gaurantee that NO offensive material will be viewed, YouTube states it is not 100% accurate.

Whether your website is in Cork or other in Ireland the statistics are the same, 20% of all Google searches now include a location.

This means that when people are searching for something they include a location 20% of the time.

Google maps are displayed for 1 in 13 searches … thats nearly 8%

Local SEO is therefore crucial in the success of your website. 

What should you do?

1. I would highly recommend all businesses get listed with a business listing on Google Maps or Google Places, you should also get a business listing with Yahoo and Bing.
2. To optimize a site and it’s landing page for local searches you should include the business name and location in the page Title tags of the relevant pages; include the address, name and phone number in plain text; make the business contact information available on the site.
3. Get a facebook business page, get listed on local directories or local blogs.
