Is it okay to have a video transcription in a collapsable div for SEO?
-
SEOmoz is good about making sure their videos have a transcription included below them but of course the description takes up a TON of space. Could I enjoy most of the same benefit of a transcription by including it in a collapsable div like an accordion?

Got'cha. Thanks!

Header Line:
In your div, when it is collapsed, make sure that you don't just have blank space, that when someone clicks it it expands. Instead, what you need is to have something that says "Click here for full video transcript"... and it would be a good idea to have that tagged as an H1 or H2.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info, but what do you mean by the header line?
-
Yes it is fine. However, you should following some basic rules:
- Make sure your page is configured with all of your DIVS expanded when JavaScript is disabled.
- Make sure all the divs and the text is on the page–and not called from an external file.
- Make sure the header line is visible, otherwise you might be considered as hiding text.

Why is my entire page appearing as a video result (and only a video result)?
A page on my site is appearing as a video result. When you click on the link, it takes you to the page. The page does have a video on it, but it seems weird that the entire page would appear as (and only as) a video...

Homepage 301 and SEO Help
Hi All, Does redirecting alternate versions of my homepage with a 301 only improve reporting, or are there SEO benefits as well. We recently changed over our servers and this wasn't set-up as before and I've noticed a drop in our organic search traffic. i.e. there was no 301 sending mywebsite.com traffic to www.mywebsite.com Thanks in advance for any comments or help.

Target: blank. Does it make an SEO difference?
I've notice many sites MOZ included no longer use the target: blank attribute. I think that's what it's called. Basically when a link on your site opens a new tab in the browser as opposed to replacing the browser window you are in. Given that MOZ think of everything, I would love to hear opinions on this.

SEO credit for subdomain blogs?
One of my clients is currently running a webstore through Volusions. They would like to add a blog to their website, but since Volusions doesn't currently support blogs on the same domain we would have to create a Wordpress blog and link it to a subdomain. (http://support.volusion.com/article/linking-your-blog-your-volusion-store) Using this method, will their primary website receive any SEO credit for the content being created on the blog or will it only count towards the subdomain? Thanks!

Client with Very Very Bad Onsite SEO
So one of my clients has a really really bad website from the technical perspective. I am talking over 75k in violations and warnings. Granted, the tagging is done well but any other SEO violation you can think of is occurring. In any case, they are building a new website, and I am on a retainer for a couple hours a week to do some link building. I am feeling like I am not getting anywhere. What is your advice? Should I keep on keeping on or advice the client to put SEO on hold until the technical issues are resolved. I feel like all of this link building isn't having the value that it could have with a site like this.
