Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello Everyone,

We recently developed videos for all of our products.  Upon clicking on each video, we have the video popping up in a lightbox.  The videos are hosted on Amazon s3.

We would like to implement social sharing for each video and to do so, we are going to have the video load on each page upon being clicked using jquery.  My question is how we should structure the urls so that the actual product page gets the share value.

So for example, if the page is

www.website.com/product1.aspx

should we have the video be www.website.com/product1.aspx#video

and ensure there is a canonical url on each product page so that the benefit is given to www.website.com/product1.aspx

Or is there another way that anyone would recommend doing this?

The videos are AMAZING and I'd like to ensure that as these videos are shared on social networks, that the value of the share is directed to the actual product page.

Any ideas mozzers?

Thanks!

We were recently made aware of brandpoint.com.  They produce content and guarantee the content will be listed on a minimum of 600 websites that they have agreements with.  This includes the LA times and others.  Their agreements state that the content will be a maximum of 2 clicks from the homepage and will live for 1-2 years before getting archived.

Does anyone know anything about this company and/or the overall strategy of achieving links on these highly trafficked/valued sites through articles?

Will these links help us or is this similiar to sending out a press release on prweb where you get picked up by benzinga and other sites automatically and the value for the links isn't really there?

Any insight you can provide about this company and or strategy would be most appreciated.

Obv using an automatic xml feed, I've changed the settings to submit and will see what occurs.

Thanks again guys.

Sure, but I imagine that someone is doing this really well.  We have a pretty incredible PPC campaign and organic rankings for our key terms, but I can't seem to get my products to show up often in google base results.

I submit everyday, but I should probably do so every week.  I'm sure there is someone out there that could take a look at our feed and make a slight tweak or twoo - just curious if anyone knew of anyone who had great success with it.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

We're looking for a company that can help us optimize our google product feed.  Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea why opensiteexplorer has a specific number of linking domains while google webmaster tools say another?

I understand opensiteexplorer needs to update itself, but I have seen this discrepancy for months!

Any ideas?

Google Advises to use Rel Canonical URL's to advise them which page with similiar information is more relevant.

You are supposed to put a rel canonical on the non-preferred pages to point back to the desired page.

How do you handle this with a product catalog using ajax, where the additional pages do not exist?  An example would be:

<colgroup><col width="470"></colgroup>
|

.com/productcategory.aspx?page=1

/productcategory.aspx?page=2

/productcategory.aspx?page=3

/productcategory.aspx?page=4

The page=1,2,3 and 4 do not physically exist, they are simply referencing additional products

I have rel canonical urls' on the main page www.examplesite.com/productcategory.aspx, but I am not 100% sure this is correct or how else it could be handled.

Any Ideas Pro mozzers?

You need to redirect your index.html page to /.  You can do this in IIS.

How often do you submit them?

What have you seen work?

Are there any tricks aside from filling out all of the data fields?

This is a great question!  My best hidden SEO secret is developing relationships with resources of particular specialties so you can get specific help in the area you are focusing on.  Similiary how a Dr. will refer you to a specialist, in SEO, there are plenty of general SEO's out there, but there are a few stand outs in particular specialties.
