The video breaks the 4 minute rule by a few seconds and is a bit longer then the past few.
Disclaimer: Use testing techniques sparingly as some of them could be considered spam.
Google will give you lots of seo advice. Simply feed google the questoin and they wil provide an answer.
For instance. Does google index duplicate content? Create some and google will let you know with real world results.
Which of your sites is the best to rank content? Create some similar content on multiple sites and google will tell you.
WHat is the best keyword density to use on my site? Create a few variations and get them indexed. Google will answer by the way the rank them.
You get the point. There is no need to debate many seo concepts, google is more than willing to give you the answers, just feed it some experiments.

Exactly. You can learn so much from black box testing. No sense guessing when you can know for sure.

Since I really don't care for watching videos of other bloggers on my computer, I regret to say that I'm removing the 45n5 feed from my reader. Best of luck!

@shane - thanks for the comment.

Very interesting stuff... I'd be willing to BUY (hint) a report on this and other experiments... perhaps an opportunity to create a product for yourself ;)

Thanks for the summaries at the bottom of the videos. I usually don't take time to watch the videos, so I definitely appreciate the summaries!

I actually prefer video over text, text is boring..
Its like having a buddy give you tips at a bar, its pretty cool.
Keep it up with the videos 45n5, and please do not do what Mr Show or Shoe are doing, just writing stuff other than Making Money Online.

I will always support this blog as it is the most honest site and Mark has the courtesy to reply the questions.
I learned a lot from this site.
That Mikey boy....if he does not have video in his site, he is losing$$$$$$.
All my sites with video...brings in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
How much word can you describe wine or sex or...
People are sick and tired of writing and reading silly words.
FYI--- most people in other countries do not like to read BS blogs, too much wordings...they love videos and click on google videos. More money for me$$$
Good work Mark!!!

Great video and it's so true.. If you want to see what SEO's affect is on Google then just test to see what Google likes.
One thing I'd like to add though. You're test on whether or not Google likes trademarks is not enough to convince me. The trademarked page could have been indexed first and that's why it ranked higher. You'd have to repeat the test a few times before you could really come up with a viable result or did you?
