Does a video transcript count as useful content by search engine?
-
-
absolutely. do it. also shows you are catering towards handicapped on your site
-
yes its better than useful, its awesome.
SEOmoz whiteboard friday do it, thus its good.
Plus, I don't have speakers on my work PC and if I've left my headphones at home, I'm scuppered!
-
Thanks for the advice!
-
I say yes it is usefull information, and if unique you will rank for it, even better mark it up as a schema.org object,
the video object has a property for transcript
-
I would say yes. If someone wanted to watch the video on your page, but they were using an ipad for example, and the video is in flash, they'd be able to read the transcript.
Kinda like having an ALT img attribute I guess, to make ure people will know what is on the page, even if the actual image of video is broken.

What is the best way to rank organically for location search?
I just read this great article about location search. I am going o read it over and over again, but I wanted to ask... When ranking organically for location searches, do you recommend posting articles (such as testimonials, etc) or build informative pages - that can link through the home page through the nav bar or through a drop down or what have you. There are so many ways to do it, what do you think is best?

How to organize content for ecommerce site
Hello, We've decided to create 24 articles of content for our ecommerce site, everything from an FAQ to history of the products to 10 articles on the top 10 products. Really useful to the user. How do you suggest that we make our content visible to the users? We could put a nice button on our right banner that says "Extensive Help Session" or we could put a banner on our home page or we could make it a tab at the top of the screen. We could additionally make a well organized footer with links to the articles. Or we could do all of those but that might be overkill. What do you suggest?
