Over the years, YouTube's "unique visitor" and "time spent on site" stats have gone up and up, with no end in sight.  Advertising on YouTube isn't a terrible idea for small businesses, then, and tomorrow, an online course taught by an official YouTube Specialist will address the subject and dispense tips.

To point out one possible catch before we move on: you'll have to register with the AdWords Online Classroom, and that process involves using an AdWords Customer ID (or My Client Centre ID).

Otherwise, a post on the Inside AdWords blog stated, "There are now a number of ways in which you can raise your profile as an advertiser using YouTube.  During this course you'll learn about the different methods of targeting YouTube, and how to make the most out of any existing presence you may already have on this platform."

Then the post continued, "This is a live course presented by a YouTube Specialist and is appropriate for all advertisers interested in growing their presence on YouTube.  It will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, November 17, 2010 3pm - 4pm BST / GMT+1 (London), 10am-11am EDT (New York), 7am-8am PDT (San Francisco)."

That should prove pretty convenient no matter what your time zone.  And as always, one of the advantages of this sort of thing is that it's possible to "leave" partway through without drawing attention to yourself or offending anyone.

Here's hoping you pick up some helpful tips if you decide to tune in, though.
