• Video Review and Comparison

The first comparison is a video by Peabody award winning videographer Andy Elliott. A Travel Documentary video for Semester at Sea, filmed by Andy in Fall 2006, shot in 4×3 standard definition.

Vimeo is first, then Youtube…

Semester at Sea, Fall 2006 from Doug Neubauer on Vimeo.

The Youtube version…

It seems like the Youtube version might be slightly “sharper” than the Vimeo version.

The second comparison is an online instructional online promotional video by Andy for Laurelhurst Chiropractic, shot in 16×9 standard definition.

Again, Vimeo is first, then Youtube…

Portland Chiropractor | Laurelhurst Chiropractic from Doug Neubauer on Vimeo.

The Youtube version…

For the second case, the Vimeo version might be just slightly better than the Youtube version.

There are a number of articles that will tell you that Vimeo is better than Youtube for standard definition videos, but from looking at the two examples above I would say it’s hard to make that claim.

But what does Universal Search mean?

Well, it’s quite simple really. When Google returns a search results, it can be a “blend” of News links, links to Videos, links to images, links to Blog entries, as well as normal search results. This is “Universal Search”.

See the image below, which is a Google results page searching for “Steve Jobs”.

The thing about Universal Search is it offers more opportunities for search engine optimization.

Take for example, online videos. According to one source a video is, in theory, 53 times more likely to make the first page of Google than an ordinary text page.

Which means, among other things, your internet marketing package should include plans for online promotional videos and video search engine optimization.

Google’s local search, which used to be called, naturally enough, “Google Local” is now called “Google Places”

The link to Google places is: http://google.com/places

Google Local Places is where “Local” Businesses can submit data about their company. Google then uses this data to decide if the business is included in the “7-Pack” when a user submits a search with a “geo-targeted” keyword such as: Portland Dentist. (see below)

The “7 pack” is where a local business wants to be as it’s usually the first thing a searcher will look at. Google Local

Here’s Google’s press release on Google Places.

And an article on Google Places in USA Today.

302publishing.com are authors of the novels “Where Dogs Run” and, coming soon, “Mosquito Drill&”

Along with novels, 302 Publishing also has free online stories for your viewing pleasure.

The problem is that maybe Google has already indexed oldpage.html and maybe people have already linked to oldpage.html, so if you change the page name all the links to the old name will be broken.

So what to do? The solution is called a 301 redirect, and works as follows:

If the old page is at: http://www.example.com/oldpage.html
and the new page will be at: http://www.example.com/newpage.html

Then put the following in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/pagefile.html

And presto! Whenever anyone accesses oldpage.html they get newpage.html instead. None of the links are broken and Google is happy.

One technical note, don’t forget the ‘/’ in front of oldpage.html in the .htaccess file, otherwise the redirect won’t work.
