What are the search pros and cons of a transcript of a video in scroll box

[94501]

This is being considered for fairly templated pages as a means of adding unique text to the page, without giving up a ton of real estate. The text is all visible in view source, but only the first few lines in the scroll box. The box itself is just above the fold.

How, do you think this would affect search? Any other ideas for handling this. I'm limited by what the client will accept.

Thanks... Darcy

Regardless of how much is in the scroll it is all visible to google. Keeping the text visible on the page above the fold, with a few organically placed keywords is all first rate seo.

Hence what you suggest would only positively enhance your clients SEO - add in the usual caveats about keyword stuffing & relevance to be wary of.  So unless I am missing something all good.
