Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you're just after something easy and free to edit the audio, then a program like Audacity will do the job. - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

If you want to turn it into a simple video cheaply, then Microsoft Movie Maker is free and can do most simple video jobs you might want. Do a google search to find the install if you don't already have it installed

Hope this helps,

To say "linking just dilutes the authority from the page" is not strictly true.

In this particular instance I do not believe that the menu is too OTT in terms of links but if you have every page linking to every page you just end up creating a mesh of links that search engines can waste crawl time trying to decipher.

Too many links with poor structure can mean that your crawl allocation is wasted which results in less of your pages being indexed properly.

I'd imagine it is more to do with subscribers, social media posts containing links, referrals and fans who have bookmarked your page etc rather than anything to do with SEO. If your rankings are not improving yet your traffic is, I'd suggest looking at your analytics to see where the traffic is actually coming from - referrals, direct traffic etc.

I'd ask the BBC contacts if you can have your twitter username displayed alongside your name to start with - the BBC seem happy to do this for a lot of guests and their own presenters - I understand that any advertising is likely to prevent you making it to air (i.e. obvious promotion) but simply displaying a username in an effort to continue the discussion might be accepted by them.

Please bare with me, this might turn into a bit of a waffle, but I'll get to my question... I promise!

I've just been looking at our CPC traffic for April and 2 search terms jumped out at me. I recognised them from previous keyword research because they are search terms that I expected to be high traffic (from past experience), but Google Adwords keyword tools showed them to have no potential traffic, and next to no potential traffic (literally 0 local searches and 12 local searches per month).

Last month search term A had 46 visits, with 19:25 average time on site and 8.70% bounce rate and search term B had 10 visits with 14:47 average time on site and 0% bounce rate. For very boring reasons we are not currently able to measure conversions on these terms since (they are related to consumer finance and when a customer applies for finance it is all done on our finance providers website) but despite the low volume, these are pretty good figures for on site behaviour and so it got me thinking...

Is there a more accurate tool to estimate traffic volume that we should be using rather than the Adwords tools?

I appreciate that the estimates are probably made based on historic search behaviour and April's traffic could just be a one off, but these particular terms used to be insanely popular 4-5 years ago when I worked at a competing company.

You could add a google analytics event tracking code to the links in the tag cloud. Then you'll soon see if it's being used.

Have you looked at Google Webmaster Tools?

Under 'Site Configuration > URL Parameters'  You can tell google there which query strings do what. Which to ignore and which to include.

But it may be worth looking into using rewrites to rewrite the query strings into a regular url that can be easily indexed.
