When I saw how this plugin function, my mind goes wow! My eyes immediately become wide open. This is the first time that a wordpress plugin can capture my attention.I am really fascinated with this plugin known as Apture Plugin.

This plugin allows keywords in your articles to be connected to Wikipedia, YouTube, Google Maps, Royalty Free Pictures, music and more from 50+ sources of content with one click.

Apture allows 2 methods to connect to the above resources. One of the methods is hyperlink. When you click on the hyperlink word, it will pop up a small resizable window to the resource that I link it to ( eg wikipedia, YouTube, etc). I like this method best as reader can still continue to read my blog.

You can see how hyperlink works
Click on the word blog. It will display a small window containing information from Wikipedia.

You click on this word Wordpress plugin, a small YouTube video screen appears.

Actually I have link the words to the selected resources.

Another method is known as embedding. It will display a resource fully( eg Wikipedia, YouTube, etc)
I like the hyperlink best as it just create a small window displaying the Wikipedia or Youtube content and the reader can still continue to read your blog. You can resize the window to your liking.

There are 2 types of Blog visitors. One type of readers is they like to read your blog content. The other loves to watch short video.

Therefore it is best to have both type of media posted on your blog. .

In a typical way, it will take time & effort in order to search for videos relevant to your blog. After searching, you need to create a post and embed the YouTube code in it.

Now you can do it the easy way. There is a plugin that allows you to display YouTube video thumbnails on your blog at the side column.
The Plugin is known as “YouTube Monetizer”

Features
•    Display YouTube video thumbnails on your blog
•    Monetize the full video display page with AdSense, banners or opt in.
•    Can specify keywords to display only relevant videos related to your blog.
•    Can choose display order
•    Can customize using CSS

Following is the sample YouTube video thumbnails at the side column of my blog. You need to scroll down to see

After you have click on one of the videos, you will see this screen.  
The beauty of this plugin is that it allows you put banners, adsense or opt-in at the top or at the bottom of the video. Hopefully, this way you will earn some money.

Area of Improvement
I hope they would include in the next version, whereby each time I click on the video, it will launch in new tab in Firefox and new window Internet Explorer.
