Friday Tips and Tricks: Adding Video, and Building Links

While catching up on some of the week’s reading and watching, I came across two videos that I thought would be great to share with all of you. At a few minutes each, they’re well worth the viewing time.

The first video, “Add Your YouTube Videos To Your Yahoo! Store,” comes from Shawna Fennell of 1 Choice 4 Your Store. As we’ve previously mentioned on the blog, product videos can help your site stand out, and are a great way to showcase and demonstrate the products your store carries. As Shawna explains in her video tutorial, posting videos to your store can be as simple as uploading a video to YouTube, customizing display settings, and copying and pasting an already-generated embedded video link.

The second video belongs to SEOmoz’s Whiteboard Friday series. This week, Rand Fishkin looks at how to get awesome links. Learn what makes links “awesome,” and how to get these high-quality links. We’ve had a few blog posts from Rob Snell covering similar link-building topics, so if you’ve missed them, be sure to check out his articles on link-building and keyword ranking, looking for links in all the right places, and link-building strategies.
