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.

PriceValildUntil not honored on SERPs
I've added some AggregateOffer schema for some products with properties such as lowPrice
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Vuly
highPrice
pricevaliduntil
availability
itemCondition
priceValidUntil we change our sale price quite often and I am relying on the priceValidUntil to stop showing the prices once a date has lapsed. However, I am still seeing the prices on SERPPs once the date has passed. Is there anyway to get around this? note: I have tried updating the schema 2 days before the sale ends just to make sure Google has crawled the page in time. However Google is still a bit slow in crawling the pages even after requesting index. Any suggestion is welcome.0 -
Rankings drop after https migration [Need urgent help]
hey hi guys, i have lost all my organic traffic and in need of urgent help. Plz i need all your SEO expertise. My website is: makemoneyadultcontent.com (before judging me, let me tell you that i have been in adult industry for almost 7 years now and hence this blog was a way to pass my knowledge to everyone who is looking for it) Recently i saw that moving to HTTPS will benefit my site. I did not knew much about technical details of moving to https. My hosting was on siteground, and they have a button which you can press and your website will then be served through https. So i did that. Nothing else was done. this was done on 13th or 14th of june For the next few weeks here is my analytics (image attached) : As you can see the traffic fluctuated and finally i lost everything on 29th june. When i researched more, i found out that you need to follow many steps in order to move to HTTPS. So i followed this guide and completed all the steps: https://www.keycdn.com/blog/http-to-https/ (also checked many other guides and tried to complete all the steps mentioned) Everyone said that the rankings will recover in one week, but now it has been more than 17 days and still the rankings have not improved. My articles are indexed as i can see it using site:makemoneyadultcontent.com but none of them are ranking for the keywords that i was ranking earlier. i have submitted the sitemap in google webmaster and around 166 (out of 218) pages are indexed. Here are few more images to help my case: plz plz help me what i can do to get my website traffic back. i have spent a lot of time and effort in building this site, cant see it die a slow death like this one. 8Wa8c [http ahref](http ahref) D42xw sAd9E

Local SEO - Do I need it if I don't do business locally?
Super confused about this. Our office is located in Los Angeles, but it is not a storefront, and our clients are from all over the country... and our business involves travel to other countries. So there is nothing "local" about us. But everything I read seems to say we should be doing local SEO. How to approach this?

Has anyone else noticed a big change in SERPS in the past week or two
We've had a massive change in our position, we were pretty stable on certain keywords for quite some time, however in the past week we were bouncing around and then thrown completely off with some of our keywords dropping to page 4 and some to page 2. I've noticed a lot of changes on the google uk serps, and not sure if it is just a penguin refresh or if its a new one that hasn't been announced. anyone else notice?

Does having a video rich snippet keep your result from being top 5 in Google?
It makes sense to me that Google wouldn't want a rich result above the fold in a SERP that would compete with their PLA's. All my videos are on my product pages, so the queries that produce them always have PLAs in the SERPs. I've been run a few tests on this and it seems as though these snippets keep my result below the fold on the SERP (position 5-10). Thoughts on this? Experience?

Two identical websites need ranking locally
Hi Wondering if someone can advise. We have two websites with a .ie domian and .co.uk domain (e-commerce stores) The websites are identical so we need to address duplicate content issue. The issue we have is we are targeting both local Google to rank, google.ie and google.co.uk. Obviously to handle duplicate content we are going to have to "rel can" the one of the websites, which will probably be the .ie domain. Question is, will this effect the ranking within the .ie domian on google.ie. And any advice on how anyone else handles this situation would be greatly appreciated, we have had no issue ranking before with one domain on a local search engine, but this is the first time we have come across needing to rank two domains with identical content on each local search engine Thanks in advance John

Rich Snippets Displayed in SERPs?
I've recently deployed rich snippets for a site that includes reviews on individual company profile pages. We passed the Rich Snippet Testing Tool and notified Google of our pages. It's been 2 months since we deployed this and still nothing. Does anyone have any feedback on the average time it takes Google to recognize these markup and include in on the SERPs? Or any articles that reference which industries they will include reviews in the SERPs for and which ones they won't? Thanks.
