SOPA – PIPA Review

SOPA – PIPA Review

Emmy Awards

NE Emmies I Won

I came across this video from Khan Academy in the comments of the issue on Matt Carter’s blog and am embedding it so you can get informed about this very important issue.

It has serious implications for how information is shared on the web.

Now I understand the concern Hollywood and the big media companies have. They don’t want folks stealing their content.

I produced content for television for over 25 years so I get their point.

I just think this approach is not the right way to go about it.

While the intent of these laws is benign and understandable, the devil is in the details and this video illustrates the dangers by citing some of the language of the proposed law.

Now, for the moment, the law has been shelved. But rest assured, this issue will come up again. So you should be aware of what is going on and contact your Congressional reps if you are a US citizen and stay informed.

Stay with it stay well and talk soon.

 

YouTube Channel Redesign Part 3 – Nav Bar

YouTube Channel Redesign Part 3 – Nav Bar

New YouTube Channel Navigation Bar

The new YouTube Channel Navigation bar is a compact three tab nav bar that offers a streamlined way of managing your channel.

The three tabs are the Featured tab, the Feed tab and the Video tab

Featured Tab

If you select the Featured tab as your default, what you will see when your Channel page displays is your latest uploaded video in the featured video display at the top of the channel and your uploaded videos listed in chronological order below.

This is what I have chosen for my channel.

The right sidebar displays my about information and a run down of my featured playlists and featured channels of other YouTubers who I think offer a good insight into how a successful channel is organized and designed.

New Channel Design

If you have a YouTube channel then you may have noticed that there is a new YouTube Channel redesign that has happened in the past couple of weeks.

The new look and feel makes it easier to find and watch the content you have to offer, or at least that is its intended goal.

It offers you the channel creator a better way to organize and showcase your work and give your viewers the information they are looking for.

In YouTube’s own words the benefits are the following:

  • A more streamlined and consistent design
  • An easier way to find and view videos
  • New, more flexible layouts for featured content, and
  • A way to keep your audience engaged even when you don’t have new uploads

Does SEO Still Matter?

Technical SEO still matters, a lot!

If you want to put your site’s best foot forward and make it the most visible possible in search engines, then you have to be a master in technical SEO.

We all know that if we do not pay attention to the navigation architecture of our site, if we don’t care about the on-page optimization, if we mess up with the rel=”canonical” tag, the pagination and the faceted navigation of our web, and if we don’t pay attention to the internal content duplication, etc. etc., well, we are not going to go that far with Search.

Hope it helps you out in your online business
