      Hi ,

      Recently launched a video dictionary site - http://www.megavocab.com

      With whatever I could learn of SEO , I included the transcript for the video in the page - http://www.megavocab.com/dictionary-definition-maladroit.html

      But this makes the page look shabby (when compared to page like - http://www.megavocab.com/dictionary-definition-zealot.html) and the transcript per say does not help much to user ...

      I am in a delimma  whether to include the transcript or not ... please guide...

        You have two choices.

        • Honor your design sense and drop the transcript.

        • Honor your SEO sense and include it.

        The most dedicated designers know about SEO and figure out a way to honor both design and SEO.  They are the ones who succeed and make a lot of money.

        Figure out how to do both or be satisfied with failure or fractional success.

        ..... but don't hide the text from visitors.  That will get your site killed in the search engines.

        ===========================

        FYI.... the transcript is very useful.  Lots of people prefer to read rather than listen.  And lots of people who listen will search the transcript to read and reread the exact words for the most important part of the video.  Lots of people print.

        Don't assume that you understand the visitor. You probably don't - at least that is my experience.
