Answer: Transcripts aren’t good for SEO but those with context are. Often times transcripts contain too many filler words. We don’t talk the same way we write (or read). DO NOT use a full transcript as your show notes (blog post).  What I suggest is get the transcript and make it into a PDF or plain text file.  Upload that file to your media spot on your server and put a link to it in your blog post. PDFs are highly accessible for the visually impaired and are a good way for any hearing impaired people to read (more or less) what you say on your show.  This is not the same as captioning. You can also put that URL in the transcript box in the post if you are using PowerPress. Be sure to subscribe to the unofficial companion show to this one, Podcast Help Desk where Mike goes a little deeper into the geeky and techy side of podcasting. This week, I talked to Dave Jones from the Podcast Index project. We clear up some things about PodPing and other podcasting stuff.
