 Video Optimization Tips
Currently, search engines index video files using clues on the page where the file is embedded, and in the file's own metadata, to index the file and include the video in the appropriate results. So, what should producers do to ensure the search engines pick up their videos and index them appropriately?
Here are a few of the key steps I have found:
1. Sitemaps. Google is somewhat limited in what video content they include in SERPs, and video sitemaps are a recommended way to give Google information about the video content of your site. The specification can be found here: Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Introducing Video Sitemaps
2. RSS Feeds. Google loves to crawl RSS feeds of various types, and this includes RSS feeds that focus on video content. Because RSS files are smaller than standard web pages, and easier for the search engines to parse, an RSS index of new video content can give your site a leg up in getting video content crawled and indexed. More info on MRSS can be found here: http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/
3. Metadata. Because search engines do not generally analyze the content of video files (yet, at least as far as they will admit), metadata is the best source for search engines to determine what your video is about. Keep the title short, descriptive and on-target. Make sure your description likewise matches the content of the video, and keep the keywords light, focused on the most imporatant themes of the video. Avoid duplicating keywords.

As this is my first time building a web site, I would be happy to get any type of remarks/suggestions, starting with mistakes in English and what ever you think.

Problem After Digg Submission
I signed up for Digg few days ago just to explore how it works as i had heard a lot bout it. I posted one of my site pages in the Technology>Hardware section just to see how things work.
The page that i posted was well placed in localised searches on page 1 in google and on page 3 for a general search (keyword: queue management system)
But later in the day just to update on my search results, to my surprise, i found my page off google from page 3 and no where till deep down the rankings, instead my submitted page on Digg appeared on page 2 for the generalised keyword.
Can anyone explained what happened??? On one side it seems good as a link to my page from a popular site is well listed but where and why did the landing page from my site go away???

Landing Page Best Practices
My job is to market a few management and leadership books by Jim Clemmer.
They've sold well through the traditional offline outlets like bookstores and such, but I'm now trying to open the floodgates to internet sales.
I've been told about the effectiveness of landing pages and affiliate marketing, so my plan is to take a stab at both.
My first landing page is Growing the Distance: Timeless Principles for Personal, Career, and Family Success
