In both cases the increase in relevance is not tremendous: Google knows anyone can easily manipulate these elements.

A colleague and I were just discussing integrating more video related products and services in to our offerings and we were kicking around ideas about how to do that. This further enforces his thoughts that this is an area worth investing in. From an SEM perspective the challenge is convincing clients that video can drive new business and traffic in interesting and unexpected ways like this. Thanks for the great article Michael.

I noticed that images provide better ctr on ads,too. But I don't add it for the sake of it. I agree with James. I noticed that images provide better ctr on ads,too.

But I'd add that it is important to keep the image relevant to the subject matter. It's obviosuly not an issue in the example Michael provides, but I've seen plenty of bloggers insert random images that have no context to the article. I do not advocate inserting an image purely for the sake of it. Agree images add visual stimulation and optimisation benefits.

I agree, and I've worked to find some sort of image to hopefully include in every post. I hadn't mentioned it, but the site gets a good amount of traffic for image search, so there is that bonus as well. Thanks Nick.
