These videos have also increased conversions so... I gotta' think you are making assumptions about this without really giving it a try.

How is that "dead wrooooong" and what does universal search have to do with what I said???
I have to say this again. "SEO'ers & bloggers" here and at other forums continuously lose sight of the simple fact that not every site owner has a site about news, blogs, SEO, etc. Believe it or not, there are websites out there that sell static consumer products and for those type sites, there is no need or use for videos, audio, podcasts, etc.,
A video, audio, podcast, cannot be made of
every product. It's just simply not applicable to many products, nor should it be mandated to appease asinine G. Not to mention the countless small mom & pop businesses out there that simply do not have the resources, time, or funds to do it. G rewards the billion dollar monopolies once again, and once again the little guys--the economical backbone of America, suffer. You're forgetting there is more than one product genre or niche out there, and more than one type of "business model" selling them.

nor any new content unless you happen to get in a new product. Those areas are only specific for certain niches or genres. Once a product's webpage is up, some kind of consumer good, there is not only no reason to change it, but you can't change it unless its specs should happen to change.

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!

("Thesis"??) So it's "totally False and misleading" that one does not need to change a product's specs? I'm not saying that NOT doing so is good, I'm saying that
there should be no need to do it. A product's information page is not a "blog". Product A model #123 is not going to change. I'm NOT saying it does not have to be done, I'm saying it's stupid to be forced to do it. A site owner should not be mandated to jack around with the freakin' page every freakin' day to appease asinine G.

"Content" is not king. It should be, but it's not. What is "king", is having a big name and or high PR website, that's a site to which other site owners will have a need to link.I do not disagree that video, audio, news, blogs, etc., are growing and moving forward. What I'm saying is that not ALL websites can benefit from that, and it is these types sites that are (AGAIN) going to be harmed by G.

"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.

That's typical talk from an "
SEO person" that thinks everything can be solved with your service.
Others here disagree with you. An "authoritative site" gets away with "internet murder" and impunity for breaking the rules. Their
site can become authoritative as a whole, but why should
all of their
useless, irrelevant, blackhat, old, not changed in years pages (how's that for "fresh updated content"),
also be authoritative?? How that's for "good content". You think that's right? No one else does....except of course those that
own these said "authoritative sites". I have no problem AT ALL, WHATSOEVER, with
VALID LEGIT useful relevant whitehat pages at the top of the results,
regardless if they are from a so-called "authoritative site", (or a small mom & pop business, or one of my competitors). What I have problem with, as should any sane person, is when their
useless, spammy, blackhat, irrelevant, search engine bait pages OUTRANK the opposite,
just because of them being considered an "authoritative site"! That is just plain wrong, yet G allows it, and all the little guys with the legit, whitehat, relevant, useful, pages suffer for it.
