Wistia Transcript AND Our Own?
-
Wistia has a feature that allows you to have them create a transcript for your video that highlights the words as the video progress, kind of like Karaoke.
I am just playing with implementing this feature, but am not sure whether Google can index the transcript within the Wistia player (see code in link below). Currently I have the Wistia transcript for auto-highlighting functionality AND my manually typed static transcript at the bottom of the page.
Should I incorporate both or will Google see the Wistia transcript?

Thanks Ben!

Glad you're liking Wistia!
If you need a correction to the transcript, just drop us a line at support -at- wistia -dot- com and we'll take care of it for you!

Thanks Ben! I just started with Wistia, but I am blown away...and that is after I had high expectations from SEOMoz and the likes.
What happens if I edit the transcript? Will it still highlight properly if I do a word for word swap?
-
Hey, great question...I thought I would just help out and provide a little more insight as to how this works.
When you use a Wistia SEO embed that includes a transcript, in addition to having the interactive transcript widget, we also include the text of the transcript in a
<noscript>tag to aid in the indexing of the text. </p></noscript>

Wordpress Tag Organization Tips
Curious if anyone has some good examples of ways to organize your WordPress tags without making your sidebar a football field long and hard to navigate. My blog is https://karmahill.com/blog and I could use some ideas. We have main categories of photo shoot types, for example, "Couples", located on the sidebar. We want to add tags to go with those main categories for further categorization and user experience example: Couples Engagement Proposals Honeymoon Maternity My question is, do I need to make "tag" pages for those posts to reside on or is their another way to get it done with less work, that is much faster? I don't want to have to make 30 tag pages or is that just what you have to do?

Thinking about redesigning site to reduce bounce rate - have a couple of questions
BACKGROUND Im looking at redesigning the website for a creative consultancy to improve the user experience. The website is mainly an image portfolio along with “press”, “our services”, “about us”, “contact” pages. I originally designed the website a few years ago and when we did, we wanted to make the image portfolio the most important feature. So we made it a full screen JS image slider with lazy loading of images, so that there are about 40 full screen images on the homepage that rotate. From a users point of view i still feel this is the best system as it very quickly allows them to browse the portfolio, which we looking for a creative consultancy is their UPS (unique selling point). The site has a very strong backlink profile compared to its competitors in the SERPS it has about 20-25% increase in PA and DA. But our site has been slipping down the rankings in recent years / months. From spot 1-2 to about spot 5-7. MY HYPOTHESIS I think that the reason the site may be dropping back in the SERP is that although its a very usable site, all its portfolio information is “too easy to find / view” and results in a user coming to our site, seeing everything they need to see, then bouncing back to the SERP. Our site has a bounce rate of 40-60%. Where as on competitors sites, their “portfolio” is a separate page off the homepage, so a users has to click through to a separate page, and even if they don't like the design content of the portfolio it doesn't get logged as a bounce. MY QUESTION Does bounce rate affect SERP ranking ? Could the sites SERP performance be improved by redesigning the site to put the portfolio on a separate page so a user would have to click through to it, if that would get the bounce rate down, would the site see a benefit even if people still clicked back to the SERP results eventually after seeing our portfolio, even though it wasn't a true 1 page bounce ? Dose time on site affect SERP ranking ? Is there a way i can see a competitor's bounce rate ? Would welcome any other thoughts inputs on this matter.
