Are there SEO benefits to Flickr?
-
Recently I keep hearing "Flickr" and "SEO" pop up together. For example, this mashable article said it was good for seo. I don't understand since it's a no follow. Are there seo benefits to using Flickr. Thanks for your help!

Thanks guys! Very helpful!

I would tend to agree. It could help to gain some traffic but the resources would be better served being used towards optimizing on your own site. It probably wouldn't hurt to have your brand in more places though?
No follows do have some positive correlations with rankings. Rand did a good job explaining this in the last White Board Friday video.

The article says it can contribute to the social signals as well as help in image searches. I'm pretty skeptical myself. I don't use Flickr and don't plan to. I would rather have images on my domain in image search results, and I have plenty of them there without using Flickr. I wouldn't bother personally.

Which SEO tactic should I concentrate on first?
Hi All, I'm a freelancer specialising in marketing and advertising for small businesses Creative Express and I was wondering what I should concentrate on first in terms of SEO? I know that targeting the right keywords are important, as are backlinks, but also TOS etc. I haven't built up much of any, but the time has come to put in significant effort in SEO. Is there something that I should be putting the most effort in to? Is there a list somewhere that shows priorities? Thanks in advance, Dan

Benefits of a video sitemap
Hello, Is one of the biggest benefits of a video sitemap that in the search results you will see your video with a link to the website where it is found rather than a link to YouTube? i.e. if the video is hosted on YouTube and embedded in your website, the link in the search results will be to the web page described in the video sitemap? Thanks!

Video SEO - Why are my videos not being indexed?
Hello All, I work on a site that has a lot of videos. The trouble is none of them are ranking. Here is an example of a page with a video on. If you click the play button you will see But none of these videos are being indexed, as you can see here. Is it because these videos are just mp4 files, rather than being embedded players (like SEOmoz use for instance)? Would embedding videos through Viddler / Wistia / Youtube etc help? Or is there some other issue at work here? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rich
