Product expansion on website. Best practices for Retargeting Interior Pages with a high concern for brand.
Good question. You are in a unique position of starting from scratch and expanding, but the SEO and branding principles would remain the same in my opinion: Do not 301 or rel=canonical anything. Your homepage is your brand identity not only to consumers but to search engines as well. If you start doing funky things like redirects or other markup to "point" google in a direction to maintain some sort of rankings, you will regret it moving forward as your company grows. Its harder to go back and fix those type of permanent decisions. Don't worry about the homepage rankings for product 1 vs. product page. Just make sure your site is flat enough that your main product pages live off of the homepage/root from and information architecture standpoint, the homepage will carry enough authority to carry the product 1 page and maintain its rankings. Google is smart enough now that putting that product one level deep will not change much. Internally link to it properly, mark it up, utilize breadcrumbs and eventually the homepage ranking for those specific keywords will move over to the product page and your rankings shouldn't see a dip. I have done this a handful of times without negative consequences. The sooner you move it, the better and let it start sitting with the search engines. You will be fine.

Videos not displaying within YouTube search results (query starting with '@' symbol)
Irving, thanks for the response. It appears YouTube has not disabled searches with an @symbol though. For instance the query @dormtainmenttv returns results.
