Ah, and regarding your last note: They will definitly fix the robots.txt if we ask them, I'm just not sure if it's a good idea or if it will mess up on our end as well

RE: External video content in iframe
Hi Andy,
Yes, the video content is owned by us and there are two reasons why I want to remove the serp listing for the third party:
1. Since their listing is for their domain (even though it's a specific subdomain dedicated for us), it's not obvious for the user that the video belongs to us (and we are a very well known brand here in Sweden)
2. When the user clicks in the video listing for the third party, they land directly in the video player. There are no menues, logotypes or anything that actually tells the user that this is our content. And there is no possability for the user to click on a link to get to our website and make a purchase.And yes, sometimes the serp shows our domain and sometimes the third party domain and I don't actually know how to control this.

External video content in iframe
Hi,
On our site we have a lot of video content. The player is hosted by a third party so we are using an iframe to include the content on our site.
The problem is that the content it self (on the third party domain) is shown in the google result.
My question is: Can we ask the third party to disallow the content from indexing in their robots.txt or will that also affect our own use of the video content? For example we use video-sitemaps to include the videos in Google video search (the sitemap links to the videos on our own domain, but we are still using iframes on the pages to collect the content from the third party domain that will then be blocked by robots.txt).
I hope you understand what I mean... Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

RE: How does a mega drop-down affects SEO?
Hi Richard,
The link to the phone website was just to show an example of what I mean by a "mega drop down". I can give you the link to our website of course but there is no mega drop down yet so there is nothing to see

RE: How does a mega drop-down affects SEO?
Thank's EGOL!
Yes, I suppose the site will be very flat, but I think that's exactly what our product looks. We sell holiday packages to a lot of different countries/destinations and they are almost equally valuable.
It's also hard to categorise them in submenues. In that case we will end up with the same structure we have today (one page listing all the countries, when I click on a country I get to a country page listing all the destinations for that country, then I click again and get a list of all hotels in that specific destination etc). And it takes a lot of clicks to get to the actual page you are looking for...
So, is a flat structure bad for SEO? I mean, it's the pages in the "bottom" of the site structure that are the most important ones...

What SEO conferences do you recommend?
I need your recommendations for which SEO conference I should attend to during 2011-2012.
I've been working with SEO since 2002 so I'm not a beginner. I want the good stuff! However I havn't been to that many conferences before, only PubCon Las Vegas several times. I would therefore appreciate some help from you guys who have tried them all (or at least several of them)
Thank's a lot!

How does a mega drop-down affects SEO?
We are looking at implementing a "mega drop-down" as our main menu on our website. Will that be good or bad for SEO?
My company is a big tour operator so our website contains a lot of pages describing all our destinations, hotels etc. We have noticed that our visitors have some trouble to navigate to all this pages since it requires a lot of clicks to reach a specific page. In order to make this easier we have looked at this popular mega drop-down thing that we all love. But what about Google? Will Google love or hate us for doing this?
