Video SERP assistance needed
-
I'm working on a site with a great deal of video content. We also have a youTube page. I've recently created a site map and submitted to Google. I really want for our videos to show up in our search results, but so far, nothings happening.
Site: www.roydwyer.com
Any advise to what's missing?
Thanx in advance!

Thank you again. I very much appreciate your time and help!

**For your first question, **
Yes, from <url>to</url> is 1 video.
so you have to add for each video you have on your site.
**Concerning the second question, **
it doesn't matter what you name the file.
but when you finish creating the sitemap.
- Log into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account* Click ‘Add a Sitemap’ next to your site.* Select ‘Video Sitemap’.* Put in the URL of your Video Sitemap. * Click ‘Add Video Sitemap’.
Cheers

Another brief question as I'm implementing this - the sitemap you've sent, is that all for one video? So, I'd need to tailor each of the above information for each of our videos - yes?
lastly, since there is already a sitemap in place for the site structure, is my name for the file ok for a video sitemap? 'sitemapVideo.xml"
-
much gratitude!
I'll correct that immediately.
best,
Alicia

That is the Issue,
while submitting a Video Sitemap is should be like this
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1"><url> <loc>http://www.example.com/videos/some_video_landing_page.html</loc> <video:video> <video:thumbnail_loc>http://www.example.com/thumbs/123.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc> <video:title>Grilling steaks for summer</video:title> <video:description>Alkis shows you how to get perfectly done steaks every time</video:description> <video:content_loc>http://www.example.com/video123.flv</video:content_loc> <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1"> http://www.example.com/videoplayer.swf?video=123</video:player_loc> <video:duration>600</video:duration> <video:rating>4.2</video:rating> </video:video> </url></urlset>
you are using the normal sitemap layout and not using the video sitemap version.
the most important information that is required to submit threw the sitemap is
* url * title * description * Thumbnail of the video * location of the video where is hosted (ie /videos/video1.flv)

(hmm... it's not very pretty)

Can you please provide your video sitemap url.

Video and text article on same topic but on two separate pages...
we are creating a video based off the content on one of our web pages. i know it's probably better for the video to be embedded on the same page as the article but if they aren't, what should we do to make sure that we aren't diluting our ranking power? Both pages will be going after the same key phrase...

Third Party Subdomain Slow Load Times Affect Our SERPs?
We have a third party subdomain that is not hosted on our server (smugmug.com gallery). It periodically has slow load times. The question is; does anybody know if the SERPs, or more specifically Google, would see that subdomain as our site? I want to gather insight into whether or not this might affect our results. Thank you!

Local Showroom Tel Showing Up in SERP for Branded Term Search?
We encountered an issue: when user search for a branded term in UK on Google UK, one of the showroom got listed in SERP under site links as a location with Location icon and takes over a few lines - their address and phone number are displayed. This caused confusion for user as it's only one of our showrooms and we don't want to direct calls to the showroom this way. I'm suspecting somehow the localization factor came into play but not sure how to remove the showroom phone number from being displayed. Anyone has any insight/experience with this? Thanks

Need help with huge spike in duplicate content and page title errors.
Hi Mozzers, I come asking for help. I've had a client who's reported a staggering increase in errors of over 18,000! The errors include duplicate content and page titles. I think I've found the culprit and it's the News & Events calender on the following page: http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/news-events/events/07-2013 Essentially each day of the week is an individual link, and events stretching over a few days get reported as duplicate content. Do you have any ideas how to fix this issue? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers

Hi, This is my site: http://hemorrhoidssuccess.com/ I have got some decent natural links with a mix of different anchor texts. My main keyword is "Hemorrhoids Treatment", And i got very less exact match anchor texts. Now i was able to rank for "Top Hemorrhoid Treatment" on #2 Page, but i was not in the index for the my main keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatment". Can you review my site and let me know, what i am missing? Do i need to get more links? If so with what anchor texts? Will be waiting for your replies.. Thanks in Advance

How much great targeted conent do we need to add?
Hi, I'm adding content to a client's website through textbroker. It's ecommerce and it's tough to find backlinks. We have decided to write 100 articles of at least 500 words so that we can say in our backlink campaign email that we have 100 helpful articles. We're thinking that people would like that. Also, we think that 100 good helpful articles will give us traffic and natural backlinks. How do we know if 100 is enough? Do we need 200? 500? Thanks.
