Youtube Videos For SEO
-
Besides enhancing the page and time on page, can youtube videos do anything for seo? Can we save the videos and rename them with keywords?

Here are the benefits that I have seen from videos. We started making them for one of our sites in November.
We display them on Youtube and on our website. As you mentioned they have increased the "time-on-site" significantly. We display a couple on our homepage and they get viewed a lot. They let people know that we have more videos inside. I am sure that they contribute to pageviews.
When we post them on YouTube
--- we have our URL visible in the video window - this probably earns some domain queries and that tells google that people are asking for our site by name
--- we have a link in our video description and many people use it
--- these links are visible in google webmaster tools
--- our videos display in the SERPs at google.com for some of our important keywords
--- one of our videos ranks #1 for our most important keyword on youtube, we have several videos on that YouTube SERP
--- our videos are being viewed hundreds of times every day on YouTube
--- I often use the word "VIDEO" in my title tags. I think that should earn clicks from people. Lots would rather watch a video than read.
--- philosophically if your site and my site have articles of equal value but yours has two images and mine has two videos which has richer content? Maybe google will rank that one higher.
It is impossible to say exactly how google weighs this stuff but videos are not too hard to make and I think that they bring value to your site.

From an SEO perspective, which is preferable in the URL for a non-English site: local language or English?
For example, the article is titled ' गर्मी में त्वचा की देखभाल कुछ यूँ करें' (English Meaning: Skin Care Tips for Summer), which one of these three URLs is best for SEO purpose? 1. example.com/ गर्मी-में-त्वचा-की-देखभाल/ (URL in local language, Hindi in this case) 2. example.com/summer-skin-care-tips/ (URL uses English words with English translation) 3. example.com/garmi-mein-twacha-ki-dekhbhaal/ (Hindi words, but written in Roman English) A response will be much appreciated, Amit

Q& A section - SEO perspective
We have a software in our website where customers can ask questions and it will send questions to people who already bought it to get answers. The answers are there in each item page. So each item page has item description , reviews, and Q&A sections. We get lot of questions and answers and software is great but we don't know if it really is helping us for the huge price we are paying them. In an SEO perspective will it help due to content or will it dilute main keywords due to the Q&A content? Thanks RB

Simple on-site SEO - bet practice for keywords in content
Hello, The Moz on-page grader will give a grade of A if the keyword appears exactly in the content at least one time. If there are 500 words and a lot of it is about the main keyword, what have you found to be important to look for beyond the on-page grader - beyond the one exact instance of the keyword? I'm specifically talking just about keywords in the content. My guess is that it needs to occur 3 or 4 times in different forms and at least once exactly, but the on-page grader doesn't require it. What have you found?

Facebook Comments for SEO
Hi, I read few opinions over the potential value of implementing Facebook Comments on internal pages and I got that search engines don't crawl the content generated7written by Facebook Comments. So do you confirm that from a SEO prospective this is not valuable at all? Would you suggest to implement this for example within every product page like Yelp has? Imagine all the value of UGC lost and not read by search engine crawler... In which case would you suggest to implement FB Comments and why? Thanks a lot! Cheers, Nino
