Best tips for getting a video page to rank?
-
We have a video for our company, located here: http://www.imageworkscreative.com/imageworks-creative-video
It's an overview of our company and the services we offer.
We'd like to get this page ranking, but we haven't had much luck so far. Our Youtube account does better, but I'm looking for some things we can do on or offsite to get this page to rank.
Any tips would be appreciated!
-
Agreed. We used to have the video on the homepage, and we recently moved it to a page of its own. I do think we should incorporate it into other pages for the best effect.
-
Thanks - really good tips! I feel like the lack of text is a huge setback, and as a user, I much prefer video transcripts to having to watch a video. I'll start working on these!

Hi
I agree with Ryan, having videos embedded throughout the website will not only help support your written content but will increase engagement levels among your users as well.

Hi Jess,
I'd look into embedding the video into other pages on your site versus trying to get a standalone page to rank highly. It's a value add in your proposition so why not integrate it into your home page scroll in a spot that makes the most sense when you're telling your story? Even if you get this page to rank well, other pages are going to be getting traffic so the embed strategy works in the near and long term.

Hi Jess,
I suggest considering the following for your page:
-
Add in an h1 tag - currently, it is missing from the page and it is an important on-page ranking factor
-
Add a transcript of the video
-
This can add a lot of content and structure to the page (more headings). It also improves usability, there are many people out there that prefer to read through a transcript rather than sit through a video.
-
Wrap your video and its pertinent details in the proper Schema data
-
Create a video sitemap
These should help you increase the ranks and fill out those video pages.

Glossary/Terms Page - What is the best way?
We have a glossary section on our website with hundreds of terms. At the moment we have it split into letters, e.g. there one page with all the terms starting with A, another for B etc.. I am conscious that this is not the best way to do things as not all of these pages are being indexed, and the traffic we get to these pages is very low. Any suggestions on what would be the best way to improve this? The 2 ideas I have at the moment are Have every term on a separate page, but ensuring there is enough copy for that term Leave as is, but have the URL change once a user scrolls down the page. E.g. the first page would be www.website.com/glossary/a/term-1 then once the user scrolls past this terms and onto the next one the URL would change to www.website.com/glossary/a/term-2

Best practice for removing pages
I've got some crappy pages that I want to delete from a site. I've removed all the internal links to those pages and resubmitted new site maps that don't show the pages anymore, however the pages still index in search (as you would expect). My question is, what's the best practice for removing these pages? Should I just delete them and be done with it or make them 301 re-direct to a nicer generic page until they are removed from the search results?

What are the different tactics for getting ranked/ included in Google finance searches such as http://www.google.com/finance/company_news?q=NASDAQ:ADBE
I don't know what ranking factors they are using for this feed. The results vary greatly from a search done at google.com or google.com/news and google.com/finance I'm working with a website that regularly publishes finance-related news and currently gets traffic from google finance. I'm wondering what we can do to optimize our news articles to possibly show more prominently or more often. Thanks
