Why is FailBlog allowed to make 2,000 dollars a day posting OTHER PEOPLE's videos?
So if FailBlog makes about 2 grand a day in YouTube revenue for posting other people's videos, then why can't someone just make their own FailBlog?
In other words, someone could simply download all of FailBlog's videos, and remove their logo, and publish the videos on youtube as their own.
Afterall, FailBlog doesn't own the videos anyway.
Neither YouTube nor FailBlog seems keen on vetting videos - to see the rightful owner.
Yet they are happy to both profit from videos of ambiguous ownership.
Or, even, unambigous ownership. e.g. its obvious failblog doesnt own this media

RE: Google Places Pages and social icons
why would linking out to a social page, confuse the bots?
If I have a page about dogs, and I link out to my cat page, this shouldn't alter the semantic associations much.

RE: Thumbnail-based navigation like YouTube Sidebar - they don't use ALT tag
well, i read a post that said that, the second link to a page has no anchor text value.
e.g. if the anchor text DOGS, links to pageX, and the anchor text DOG COLLARS links to pagex (further down), then only the first anchor text will be applied to the link vector.
So, on a typical YouTube style right nav bar, you have the thumbnail and the title clickable. Given that the title text would have no value, i simply made the thumbnail the only clickable element on the whole right nav bar assembly.
Good idea of bad idea?
Thanks!

RE: Tactics to Influence Keywords in Google's "Search Suggest" / Autocomplete in Instant?
I know that the number of searches required to get into autosuggest is quite small. Because my cousin's business whom I'm the webmaster for, is all over it. And we get like 20 visitors a day...

RE: Google Places Pages and social icons
When I worked on our regional pages, I was sure to specify regional "city name" keywords high on the page's Y axis.
I never really thought about a detriment derived from linking to branch offices in other cities. It would be hard to imagine enciting any robot confusion so long as the branch office link was in an A tag...

Thumbnail-based navigation like YouTube Sidebar - they don't use ALT tag
Notice on the YouTube sidebar, each video has a thumbnail and a title.
But, for the ALT tag, YouTube simply uses the word "thumbnail".
In the past, i was using a keyword phrase for my thumbnail ALT tag. I thought I was being clever. But is this superflous?
We note that the A tag on the YouTube items, encompasses the SPAN that is the video + title. Does Google associate the text of the title as valid "anchor text" despite the existance of other info in that span --- e.g. like View Count and the User Name of the video creator?
Thanks!
