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.

Using different sections from all over your site to compile a blog post, bad idea or ok to do?
I have a large site that sells various products, I have been on a kick creating new content relating to the many aspects of upkeep with these products after purchase, I wanted to create a blog post combining all the info for the group of products, but will be reusing some of the FAQs and even tips, since I'm more or less relocating the info. Since this blog post is using many different sources on our site, using a rel=canonical isn't possible. Is there anything I should watch out for, Will rewording / phrasing here and there be enough or should I steer clear of this as a whole?

Same content on site blog as a separate blog. Will unpublishing on one blog evade duplicate content issues?
I just discovered my client was posting the same content as the site I'm working on for him on a separate blog. I don't want to run into duplicate content issues. Both are Wordpress sites. Will it suffice to simply unpublish duplicate entries on the other blog and leave the posts as drafts?

What Website Visual Structure Software Do You Use?
I need to continually create website trees for our group of websites. I was wondering what software you guys use to create site structure/trees? I've used Powerpoint, Giffy and other diagram software but ideally I want to find something that crawls my site and spits out a diagram and also gives me the option to add none existing trees so I can show new purposed sections. Cheers, Gary
