Integrate video - only thumbnail?
-
Hi!
If I integrate a video to my website (vimeo or youtube) the pagespeed slows down.
Now I integrate my video in wordpress with special plugins. These plugins shows only the thumbnail, only if the user clicks on these thumbnail, the video is loading. So is my pagespeed perfect ...
.. buuut now my question:
Google loves tables, images, video ...
Sees google these thumbnail still as a video or now only as a image?
Thanks!

Looks like everything's in order.
Though for general SEO and accessibility help, it would be great to provide transcripts for your videos.

OK thanks, here is an example page http://www.vergleichuns.de/tablet-test

Since the image is linking to the video, it should know that there's a video behind it. However, it also depends a lot on the code of how the plug-in works. It would be helpful to know the URL of your site and an example URL of video on your site doing this.

Thanks for the response, but it was not my question.
The question is ... Knows the google crawler that a video is behind these thumbnail in my content? Or sees he only a image?

Google's actually removed video snippets from most of its SERPs, if that's what you're concerned about. Check out this smart post from Casey Henry at Wistia.

Is it still true that when your video is shown in a Google Video Carousel your page is not shown in the normal SERPS?
Hello everybody, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to invest time in optimizing my video's to appear in the video carousels on Google. I read that once your video is in the carousel, your normal snippet in the SERPS is removed. Is this still the case? Thank you for helping out!

Force youtube video to appear in search?
Hi, I haven't done much Youtube optimization yet, and now I have a Youtube project. I was wondering if one can "force" Google to display a video on an organic SERP that originally did not include any videos at all? Thanks for thoughts!

Video SEO - Why are my videos not being indexed?
Hello All, I work on a site that has a lot of videos. The trouble is none of them are ranking. Here is an example of a page with a video on. If you click the play button you will see But none of these videos are being indexed, as you can see here. Is it because these videos are just mp4 files, rather than being embedded players (like SEOmoz use for instance)? Would embedding videos through Viddler / Wistia / Youtube etc help? Or is there some other issue at work here? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rich

Are multiple embeds of the same video considered content duplication?
We are considering using Wistia to host our “new” video content on our website. Currently we use YouTube and find many people watch our technical videos (Eg. Fitting videos have10k + views, which is very high for our niche industry) We currently have “the same” YouTube videos embedded on several different blog posts on our website, as the video is still relevant to what the post talks about Question: Since Wistia updates our video Robot.Txt file, would multiple embeds of the “same video” be seen as content duplication on google & “be harmful” as a result? Thanks
