Like the videos … but does anyone else think you sound a little like Kermit on them?
Maybe its just poor audio compression … or you could get some vocal lessons from James Earl Jones?

Hi Matt,

Nice info on Videos. Hey can we put down some more info on videos related to web directories.

Like My favourite web directory is http://www.find2k.com and the webmaster is really interested to look for innovative stuffs for his directory. Can we add on few stuffs related to videos or video ads in it and how much will the SE consider these stuffs.

Please do reply.

Thanks & Regards,

I have made 301 redirect from mysite.us to http://www.mysite.net and mysite.net to http://www.mysite.net
For 4 months (February – June) I have lost 70 % of the visitors from google.
Also mysite.us was excluded from yahoo dir (instead of a code 200 they have received 301).

It seems, that google is unfair to webmasters which specify 301 redirect.

Matt, these videos are great and make a lot clearer how Google works and what to do as a webmaster and what not. I like the choice of a world language map as your background because it symbolizes the international and multi-lingual approach of Google. This approach is however IMHO mostly in the user interface and SERPs sorting, but not in the crawling.

I use content negotiation on some sites to send the best possible page to the visitors. People who have German as their preferred language setting in their browser receive a German language document, English oriented people an English version etc. The Googlebot however crawls without a preferred language setting which causes only the English page to be served when a specific URL is requested by Googlebot.

I now have links between the static language versions of the pages for each negotiatable URL and this way Google picks up the different language variants, but it’s a trick rather than a solution. I would therefore rather see that Google uses language negotiation in its bot, causing all language versions to be indexed under one URL. People searching from http://www.google.de would see the German version of the page, people from http://www.google.fr the French version etc.

I understand that this might have quite some impact on the underlying system (storing several different content pages under one URL) but is Google considering or planning such an addition?
