I usually add any photos I might have and which can add spice to the story telling and can also be used to add further metadata to the site for SEO benefits. I might also include links to other relevant parts of my site or helpful external links, which also help with SEO (so I believe!).

Where I have done an interview I usually only post a few comments from the interview and have not yet gone as far as transcription, though not yet discounted it in the future. I have also started to include Amazon Associates affiliated products links for a few of the books I mention in the podcasts though I have yet to earn a cent from this. Altogether it’s a lot of extra work but it’s very satisfying and will hopefully produce a return in the long term.

As always I gain so much from your topnotch tips and posts. I learnt much from this one, one made me realise the importance of adding the transcription to my posts. My problem is as follows:
I originally started an Audio-Visual business with a site called KAz-AudioVisual (kaz-av.com), which was not devoted to podcasting as such but more concerned with videoing events. Then I decided to start a blog for seniors, and created seniorshotspot.com. My podcasts are hosted by Libsyn. I am now exploring further into other fields such as ESL, which is a big thing in Canada, what with the host of immigrants continually pouring in, and am wondering how to fit this into these two media. SeniorHotspot.com is not suitable for this, and so I added a podcast page to my website, which currently contains links to my seniors podcasts as well but is really not effective for two reasons:
1. It is not going to attract viewers via SEO as nobody is going to look at an AudioVisual site to find out about ESL.
2. More importantly, there is no way to allow viewers to submit posts, not being a dedicated blog, and so its just a one-way infromation source.

So, my question to you in all your wisdom is – should I start another, dedicated blog post which is either more generic or devoted exclusively to my new venture, or try and incorporate this into my existing sites? I can of course still use Libsyn to host my podcasts, albeit they will be registered there under the SeniorsHotspot name. The problem with my existing SeniorsHotspot blog is that it is fixed iunder that name with Blogger via the tags, which are embedded in concrete and cannot be changed.

No rush to reply (I don’t know how you find the time to do so), but when you get down to it, it will be appreciated. AND a big thank you for the lovely picture you took on your bike ride.

Stan
