Internet Explorer 6 is finally going to die, I hope. Lots of official bodies are stating that users should move off of the browser and onto either a newer version or a different browser altogether. Google first announced the Docs, their browser-based productivity service, will drop support for version 6 of Microsoft’s browser in a couple weeks

It seems that the Mac technical wizards at MacRumors have unveiled some pretty handy, yet unconfirmed, features of future iPads and iPhones including video conferencing via a front-facing camera. Those clever little buggers did some digging through the Beta 3 iPad SDK and found evidence that there is support, at least in the SDK for a front camera with both flash and zoom capabilities.

Videos’ impact on search rankings has been discussed here rather extensively in the past. A few months ago we interviewed Search Engine Marketing and Optimization veteran Bruce Clay who helps clarify the importance of on-site videos for search rankings: “In the case of video, we believe that as one of the more important engagement objects, Google has actually started to build it into the algorithm. To us, that means if your website has engagement objects on it, video or mp3… it is going to be received by the algorithm better and your site will actually have an opportunity to rank better

If “Content is King” and “Links are Queen” when it comes to SEO, ecommerce sites must be like America – no king and no queen (but there is opportunity)! To put it another way, the typical medium or large e-commerce website faces substantial challenges to SEO – both from a content and a link perspective. Allow me to explain… The Inherent Challenges Of SEO For Ecommerce Sites Content Challenges From an SEO standpoint, most of the pages on a typical ecommerce website can be considered to be one of two types: Navigational – these are pages such as the homepage, category pages, and tag pages. These pages are primarily navigational in nature and usually contain images, product names, and links. These pages usually do not have much textual content on them, and the content they have (i.e

I interview intellectual property and e-commerce attorney David M. Adler, and explores the question: Can you feature someone in a video advertisement simply because you have video footage (or can access video footage) of them using or talking about your product, service, or brand? Also, what is the most legally safe way to feature a video of a public figure for your own business purposes

As you all know, having videos that rank well within search engines is pretty cool and currently, at least with regard to the worlds largest search engine (Google), it is far easier to obtain a first page ranking with video thanks to Universal search. Beyond ranking however, the value of video SEO lies in generating additional exposure through positioning relevant video content in front of a growing number of internet users who are actively seeking out that content using search. Just as with general SEO, Video SEO is about publishing content in a way that follows best practices to ensure and maximize indexability and discoverability. Join myself, Pete Kocks (President of Truveo ), and Sean Knapp (CTO of Ooyala ) this week, Thursday, from 11am to noon Pacific as we discuss Video SEO strategies and best practices. This webinar is free for anyone to attend and you can register for the webinar here
