Couple of practical questions;
1 - It "seems" that most new videos are 16:10 as opposed to 4:3 ratio. Is the widescreen a better choice now ?
2 - Are you aware of a 1280x720 (HD) web cam available that attaches directly to a regular Windows XP PC by USB (as opposed to MAC firewire)
Great webinar. Thanks.

links from trusted sites

You mentioned that links from websites such as CNN are favoured higher than those from e.g. your cousins blog. On those sites such as CNN, people have the option to comment and discuss things. If a link was within somebodys comment would this be seen by google as coming from CNN and therefore be a very good quality link ?

Depends if SEO Credit is Passed or Not

Daniel,

That is a very good question.  The answer is it depends.  Many sites do not pass SEO credit to other sites from the comments sections such as on blogs.  You can tell by looking at the link code in the HTML.  If there is a rel="nofollow" parameter in the link then no SEO credit is being passed on to the site.  There is really no standar practice around this yet but most big sites are no follow in the comments section by default.

It Depends

Hi Daniel,

That's a great question. The answer is that it depends. From some large sites links from the comments section will pass SEO credit. Other large sites don't pass SEO credit for links in the comments.

A good way to tell if a link is passing SEO credit is to use the Firefox web browser, and use this pluggin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5687.

Hope this helps!
