Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have seen this response

That basically answers this question by saying that Google will give value to the site embedding the video.

However I have seen much talk about this whether this really ads any value to the actual site. So By searching videos on Google my site will NOT come up in the results for any embedded video. What would the actual value be?

I would like to use a redirect through a server based Java script to redirect visitors only referenced from a certain site. So let's say anyone clicking on a link to my site page-A from seomoz.org would automatically be redirected to page-B. All other users as well as direct and search engine traffic  would only see the regular page A. The reason I am doing this is because the linking site is linking to page A which doesn't serve the user the correct content. Rather than contacting the webmaster to change the link to point to page -B, I want to redirect them. Is there any danger of Google penalizing this for cloaking? and how would they be able to tell?

Google considers some companies "brands" or stronger "brands" than other sites. What are the best ways to show Google you are an actual brand, not a fly by night eCom?

Say the site is a 2 year old eCommerce company that has this awesome clever infographic but not many blogger connections.  What would be the best ways to get that content syndicated?  What agencies are still left that do actual viral marketing now that Rand and Todd Malicoat have moved on the greener pastures?
