Video content, Google, SEO, memberships

[dgmufasa]

Hello,

I have video content that is being set up in the following way:

1. The actual video is placed on a page. The page will be assigned to a level of SILVER

2. There will be a “summary” page pointing to the page with the video on it. This will be assigned to a membership level of BRONZE (which is free)

Would like to have some of the content on BRONZE to be accessible to the outside world: Google, bing, etc. So there might be a possibility that someone can actually ~find~ it.

Can Google, Bing “crawl” a page even though it is at a BRONZE level (for membership access only?)

TIA

You could use Google “First Click Free.”

Hello again,

I saw in the instructions, the following to enable the content:

---

Go to the settings menu of eMember and check the “Enable Google First Click Free Feature” field to enable this feature.

Wait for Google to index your protected content.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

---

What does “Wait for Google to index your protected content” mean? Do you turn on the FCF and leave it on – or – do you turn it on for an afternoon and then turn it off?

Regards.

Turn it on and leave it on. Then wait for Google, on it’s on time, to index your site. You still need to do the usual SEO stuff, to coax Google into indexing your site.
