Do on-page video transcripts dilute keyword targeting?
-
We're considering putting video transcripts in collapsable div tags or using jquery on our actual video page. Videos range from 3 minutes to 12 minutes. For some of the longer videos, is there a chance that having the transcript on-page will dilute the value of our targeted keywords? Or is it the opposite?
We just want to make sure we're properly optimizing for SEO/search visibility and not over-optimizing for the sake of it.

We do this. It depends on the content of the transcript. If it's a person speaking about something it's going to flow naturally unlike a stuffed SEO paragraph. If it's related to the page it will help because of extra content and long tail keyword possibilities even if the main keyword isn't in the content.
Don't be concerned about keyword density as long as you are addressing the keywords on the main page content. It's real content for the user and the engines, also handicap friendly for the hearing impared.

Is it still true that when your video is shown in a Google Video Carousel your page is not shown in the normal SERPS?
Hello everybody, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to invest time in optimizing my video's to appear in the video carousels on Google. I read that once your video is in the carousel, your normal snippet in the SERPS is removed. Is this still the case? Thank you for helping out!

Videos impact on SEOmoz On Page Analysis
For several years we've heard that Google rewards pages that include videos with significantly higher page ranks, however I do not see video incorporated into the On Page Analysis. One of our competitors ranks 1st-3rd on a several keywords while the On Page Analysis tool grades them as an F for the same keywords. This competitor uses video more than any of the others, and has far more YouTube subscribers. I suspect video plays a role in their excellent SERP. Is there a video evaluation tool within SEOmoz? If not, is one coming, or is there a reason why it would not be appropriate? Does anyone have suggestions for incorporating the use of videos in SEO evaluations and recommendations? Thank you, Michael
