  • normal res? you're slipping

  • Hi kevinargh,

    Don't worry, we uploaded an HD file, so it's probably just a matter of time before YouTube generates the HD option. I'm happy you noticed the difference!

  • Matt you have made my day with the shirts thing :)

  • I think you should have one thing different on each video. Sure different shirts is ok, how about hats, glasses and so forth.

    Remember, we are giving you duplicate content penalities at the moment. lol :)

  • It really helps to visit Google Webmaster videos.

  • They now have an effect see matt's lastest video!

  • Yes Matt it is really amazing. Ofcourse it is very important to reduce the loading of any website. Still we are thinking that it'll effect to website rankings. Now I need to think visitors point of view. Thanks for the information.

  • I have noticed that websites on fast servers are being deeply indexed by Google spider. I think it will be one of main factors in future.

  • And... one year later, according to google blog, now it does impact PR :)

  • thank google you have changes of shirts. frankly, i just thought you guys were branding.

  • Yeah, it took me like 10 minutes to load this video too.. It ran very slow.

  • seriously, people complained about what you're wearing? lol

  • Matt needs to be more precise on the meaning of loaf time (length/bad code or host or page Bytes). Earlier Google was displaying page size (in Bytes) as a key feature in front of each listing than why it is not considered as a part of their ranking algorithm.

  • SEO articles are optimized for the search engines. They contain keywords that the search engines spiders will spot and index. This will allow your site to rank with the search engines when web surfers type in the words. Being found on a search engine is very important. Custom SEO article writing services can help with a top rank with the search engines.
