Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have always read that (-) is the best practice for URLs for telling search engines the separation of keyword phrases.  I think about it terms of my computer's hard drive to keep it simple. The (/) separates files (blog directories), and the (-) is what I use on my files (web pages). Just my way of rationalizing it to myself! Have a good one, Jared

Now that the new site is ready maybe you can move it out of its set-up directory into the root domain?  I'd also set-up 301 redirects so the pages from the old CMS are forwarded to corresponding pages on the new CMS www.yousite.com/blog/story1 >>301 redirects >> www.yousite.com/news/tech/story1 Is it a problem if http://www.mydomain.com is not optimized for anything? The root domain is forwarded onto the directory with Joomla install so you can't optimize it for anything.  If you keep it like this make sure its a 301 redirect. Hope this helps.

There's really no way to force people who embed your video to link to your website. The best you can do is encourage them to do so within the content of the video itself. Maybe it would be beneficial to play around with how you present your website in your videos. Pay attention to what works and keep improving on that.
