Google for Small Business

Just came across this video on YouTube where Reachd.com interviews Matt Cutts from Google.

There’s some really interesting stuff about WordPress, SEO, sitemaps and what small businesses can achieve for free with things like Google Maps or Google Webmaster Central. For estate agents / realtors you might like to hear about Google Base.

A great piece of advice is that if you’re adding video or audio to your site, for extra SEO cred, make sure you add a transcript! Anyway, watch the video, take some notes and enjoy.

    Thanks for suggesting a transcript to go with video or audio. I like to listen and watch, but hate taking notes. Adding a transcript would be wonderful so it can be printed out and referenced back to later on.

    Yeah, these are just basic tips but I don’t know that adding a transcript can improve our SEO efforts. Thanks for showing this, man!

    Yes, most of the tips were basic, but I did like the hint that time on site (bounce rate) does have an impact on the SERPs.

    Thanks for the comments. I’m glad you all enjoyed the video.

    The big test though, did anyone actually do any of the things Matt talks about?

    Also, has anyone found a cheap service for creating video transcripts?

    Matt Cutts seems like a nice guy, but he really doesn’t give anything away. I suppose he’s good at his job then…
