SEO for Table in a Post vs. Inserted PDF document with Scribd

    I am working on class practice problems, a series of math exercises for correcting and un-correcting a compass for navigation.

    The first time I did this was with a table, lot of work and (48 problems, 5 numbers per problem – both questions & answers) and I am providing a printer friendly PDF version also. There are headers for the problems that are very specific to Charting problems.

    If I insert the PDF document with something like Scribd, will that search any different that having the table in the Post?

    Thanks

    If you insert the PDF via Scribd, Google won’t read anything inside the document; it will just be a piece of media with the title as the only metadata. I suggest you do BOTH, actually.

    Good advice.

    Ouch!!! 480 numbers in 4 tables – but a zero search for that would suck big time.

    Last time I did a Table then had the PDF as a link for download: http://captnmike.com/2011/11/13/tvmdc-%E2%80%93-practice-%E2%80%93-correcting-and-un-correcting-the-compass/

    I can copy the html for the table so it will not be as painful as the last time. I am making twice the number of questions.

    Thanks much for the help.

    One upside to just having a link to the PDF document is that a secured document can be used, Scribd will not allow PDF’s to be secured from changes.
