Quite easy actually.  This is best accomplished with a Web browser program like Firefox with TAB browsing (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/tabs.html).  That way you can have both your YouTube page open and your SSA POST open.

Let's say this was your video >> GSXR 1000   
It's Web URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcktwhZViM&feature=related
You'll want to tie it to some text, like Lookie at me on my Gixxxr, so that when someone clicks this text it launches the link to your video.
Highlight the entire URL, then go back to your SSA page, highlight the Lookie... text, then select the Insert Hyperlink tool.  It will put this: <url>Lookie at me on my Gixxxr[/url] (except URL will have brackets around it too).
Last, put an '=' after <url> so it looks  ;)  like this <url=> and PASTE your YouTube URL (above) after the '=' sign.

This will be the result:  Lookie at me on my Gixxxr (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcktwhZViM&feature=related)
