Looks like a decent solution to a problem many in the podcasting biz have been having… We look forward to the video blogging version. Some users may not want to use the separate player, instead enjoying the podcasts on their ipods, or in another video / audio player, however for the users that don’t mind using another branded, player, this one offers some unique possiblities including index / content quick jumps in audio, and the ability to track not just how many downloads of your podcast, but also how much of it was listened to, or relistened to.

From: » SONR: statistics for podcasting | Web 2.0 Explorer | ZDNet.com
“SONR (Sonar) is a media tracking tool for content providers. Specifically geared towards podcasters (and later, publishers of video content), SONR’s goal is to provide detailed information on how listeners interact with your content. Currently, most podcasters only know when a listener has downloaded their content, but with SONR’s media player, providers can now track how much of their podcast was listened to and what the user did while listening.

Excerpt from editor and publisher.com:

Gallup: Blogs Catching On With Web Users
one in five Americans say they consult blogs “frequently” or at least “occasionally.” That 20% figure trails instant messaging (28%), auctions (23%), videocasts and downloading music (22%).

German BMW Banned From Google

This penalty is a good example of what can happen to sites going against the Google webmaster guidelines – no matter how big or important one might deem the site. Google writes:

“If an SEO creates deceptive or misleading content on your behalf, such as doorway pages or ’throwaway’ domains, your site could be removed entirely from Google’s index.”
