Dead wroooong! Universal search is now being used for over 50% of searches. Pages are getting pushed down by the content silos Google is using. IME, YouTube is way better than Google video but... do both. I haver a client that receives thousands of new vistirors a month from the 300 product videos he's got ion youTube. These videos have also increased conversions so... I gotta' think you are making assumptions about this without really giving it a try.

Totally False and misleading! There is not a shred of evidence to support that thesis... in fact I'd argue til the cows come home the opposite is true!

Blinded by the links. Once again I'd argue til the cows come home the opposite is true because the only way you become an authority site is if you have good content.
