Official Google Blog: Demographics now available in YouTube Insight - 0 views

  • Demographics now available in YouTube Insight 5/15/2008 08:05:00 AM Posted by Nick Jakobi, Product Manager, YouTubeWhen we first announced YouTube Insight, our free video analytics tool for YouTube, we were excited to see just how users, partners, and advertisers might creatively use information about the viewing trends of their videos. We've since learned that some users and partners are modifying their upload schedules based on when they know their audience is tuning in, and advertisers are studying geographic traffic patterns to assess the effectiveness of regional ad campaigns.Today we've added some new features to Insight. One is a new demographics tab that displays view count information broken down by age group (such as ages 18-24), gender, or a combination of the two, to help you get a better understanding of the makeup of your YouTube audience. We show you general information about your viewers in anonymous and aggregate form, based on the birth date and gender information that users share with us when they create YouTube accounts. This means that individual users can't be personally identified.Insight now also displays statistics based on the combined total views of all the videos you've uploaded. Just as you can explore the view counts and popularity of individual videos, with this feature you can see your account's total number of views, and your relative popularity on YouTube compared to other users, based on geographic location.As with Insight's other features, we hope this new information helps you learn how to create more compelling content that best engages the audiences you want to reach. You can find these new metrics under the "Demographics" tab within the Insight dashboard. Click on the "Insight" button under "Account > My Videos."

Yahoo Makes Minor Updates to Sponsored Search [SearchEngineWatch] - 0 views

  • May 20, 2008 Yahoo Makes Minor Updates to Sponsored Search In the midst of a proxy board fight, new negotiations with Microsoft, and a possible deal with Google, Yahoo has made updates to its sponsored search listings. In an announcement on the Yahoo! Search Marketing blog, Jeff Hecox said the changes wouldn't make "worldwide headlines" but they designed the changes to be more intuitive to users. Here's what to expect: • Names of objects (campaign, ad group, keyword, etc.) that are offline will be displayed with red text for easy recognition. • "Top Campaigns” and “Watched Campaigns” tables on the Dashboard page now include a “Status” column to help you identify if and why any campaigns are offline. • On the “Campaigns” page, there's a new “Status” column, the ability to filter by “Status” when using the Advanced Search function, and the “Campaign On/Off” button have been replaced with individual “Pause” and “Unpause” buttons. • On the Ads table On Ad Group pages, a “Status” column has been added and “Pause” and “Unpause” buttons have replaced “Campaign On/Off” button on the Ads table. • New status settings have been added on the Search page, under the Campaigns tab. • The ability to export (using the “Download” button) account information has been added to account-level Ad Group and Keyword pages, under the Campaigns tab. What do you think about the updates to Yahoo's Sponsored Search? Leave a comment!

Giving Links Away - Search Engine Watch - 0 views

  • Enter Siloing and PageRank Sculpting This is simply the activity of controlling what pages of your site share their link love. You do this by adding a "nofollow" attribute to any link that you don't want the search engines to give credit to. Take the example Matt Cutts gives. Maybe you have a friend who is a total underground, blackhat, do-no-good, evil-empire, anarchist spammer. You know he's bad to the bone. But you have a soft place in your heart for him and you want others to check out his site. All you have to do is add a nofollow attribute to the link. It would look like this: <a href="http://www.total-underground-blackhat-do-no-good-evil-empire-anarchist-spammer.com/" rel="nofollow">a blackhat spammer</a>. In this article, Joost de Valk, a Dutch SEO and Web developer, quotes Matt Cutts as saying, "There's no stigma to using nofollow, even on your own internal links; for Google, nofollowed links are dropped out of our link graph; we don't even use such links for discovery." Joost's article explains PageRank sculpting in more detail if you find this topic fascinating. His article also talks about "siloing." He points to an article on BruceClay.com that discussed this concept in a great amount of detail. Siloing is the idea of only linking out to other pages on your site and other outside resources that relate to that specific category or topic. So, if you had a cherry ice cream cone page, you would only link to resources discussing cherry ice cream cones. Information about chocolate ice cream cones and ice cream sundaes would either not be linked to or would be linked to using the nofollow tag like I showed you above. Controlling Link Flow Using Robots.txt Finally, there's more than one way to block link love. You can also add this information to your robots.txt file. This handy file goes in the root folder of your Web server and tells the search engines how to not spider and index all sorts of things.

301 several pages to one page? - Search Engine Watch Forums - 0 views

  •  
    301 several pages to one page? I have had good reults by using a 301 from one old, unimportant page with good SERP to a newer page. I have a number of old, unimportant pages and I am wondering if it would be a good strategy to redirect them all or a number of them. Example: old-what-are-widgets.html old-blue-widget.html old-red-widget.html Redirect to: what-are-widgets.html blue-widget.html red-widget.html or important-widget-page.html The single page is much more important than the group of pages. Would I be wasting value by having them point to the single page? Reply With Quote fspezia View Public Profile Send a private message to fspezia Visit fspezia's homepage!
