I do some SEO and for those of you with web sites, one of the best
things you can do to help Revolution rate well with Google is to use
*descriptive* text links from your web site to the RunRev web site. The
big question is what do people enter into a Google search when they're
looking for this type of product. It may not be "Revolution" at all.
Once you know what people actually type, using those keywords in the
anchor text of your link will be the most beneficial. The best case
scenario is when a topically-related web site (in this case, software
development) places a one-way, keyword-rich text link to another site
(runrev.com). When all three match, you've done your best. Graphic links
are not of much value from an SEO perspective.
Perhaps if someone from Runtime could let us know which keywords it's
wanting to be ranked well for, those of us with web sites can use those
keywords in our links to them. The home page of their web site does not
appear to have a keyword meta tag (?)
I'll poke around a bit in Wordtracker (a keyword research service) and
see what I can find as well.

I am not Search Engine Optimizer or anything like that, but it looks
to me as the inclusion of the word 'transcript' really narrows the
search results and produces more relevant links than just
'revolution' Now I am sure runrev will do their best to update all of
their references, but the do not have any control over third party
links, plus once Nintendo's Revolution ships I expect runrev to be
buried under all of the gaming website links.
