Duplicate Video within siteposted in Image & Video Optimization
My questions is about duplicate video content. I haven't been able to get a clear understanding from reading the previous threads.
We are hosting our videos with Vimeo and embedding into our site.
I want to embed them in 2 locations - on our features page with Java (Can be seen here http://simpletexting.com/features/). I also want to embed them in our resource section so that we can link to them directly.
I am wondering what the best way to do this for SEO and whether there is a chance that google will penalize us for duplicate content? If leave out the videos on the features page in the XML sitemap, does that address the problem?
There are 2 threads I saw on the topic and they have somewhat conflicting opinion from the same person.
http://www.seomoz.org/q/duplicate-video-content-question --Duplicate video on the same site is not a problem
http://www.seomoz.org/q/duplicate-video-onsite-how-do-you-treat-this-in-sitemap -- Duplicate videos are a problem as google can recognize them as such due to audio wave patterns, video length etc.
Thanks
