Video Sitemap Error
-
Hi
I am using a Video snippet and this error was generated about the duration tag. Can someone tell me how to fix it? and will this error prevent snippet to work on the sear results?
Thanks Mozzers!

Thank you Federico!

No, it shouldn't mess with the snippet. Snippets aren't created from the content of the XML feed, but from the video markup in the site. The sitemap only allows Google to easily identify the videos in your site.
As for the robots.txt question, there's no need to specify the video sitemap location, you can if you want, but that won't give you any "boost". Regardless if the videos are youtube hosted or not.

Thanks Federico!
Do you think that this error would prevent the rich snippet from showing up in the SERP? Because before I implement code into the page I tested the snippet on http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets an no errors was showing up!
Other question: since this video is a youtube video do I have to add a video sitemap line in the robots.txt or not?
Thanks!

Value of the duration tag must be in seconds. In your example it should be "98". The duration tag accepts from 0 to 28800 (8 hours).

How get rid of 403 crawl error?
My wordpress website has 162 crawl 403 errors. Based on what I read it means that the server is denying crawlers to access the pages. The pages itself will load so guessing it's just an issue with crawlers only. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Random /feed 404 error from a wordpress site
My Moz Analytics report shows a 404 error on a page which I think should not exist at all. The URL is http://henryplumbingco.com/portfolio-item/butler-elementary/feed/. When I checked webmaster tools, it looks like there are a number of random /feed urls throwing 404 errors. I am using WordPress and the Enfold theme. Anyone know how to get rid of these errors? Thanks,

Why that many Crawl Diagnostics errors, false?
Hi, my fist question, trying to understand how seomoz pro works. I have about 680 crawl erros, but when I check the details, I found this: 1. many 403 errors ( I think from all links). > I have tested my web site (telcelsolcom.com) in other tools and all says OK 200 response. 2. many title and content duplicates, but the system is showing as duplicated pages with and without the www. > I have a 301 redirect from non www to with www and it is working ok. Do I have false errors? What am I doing wrong? thanks.

http://domain.com/index.cfm I know how to set this in Google Analytics but how would I make sure this isn't seen as an error? It's accounting for both a duplicate title and duplicate content. Thanks!0 -
Submitting multiple sitemaps
I recently moved over from html to wordpress. I have the google sitemap plugin on the new wordpress site, but in webmaster tools, it's only showing 71 pages, and I have hundreds, but many are html. Is it okay, to submit an html sitemap as well as the wp sitemap that's already in there?

Sitemap Help!
Hi Guys, Quick question regarding sitemaps. I am currently working on a huge site that has masses of pages. I am looking to create a site map. How would you guys do this? i have looked at some tools but it say it will only do up to 30,000 pages roughly. It is so large it would be impossible to do this myself....any suggestions? Also, how do i find out how many pages my site actually has indexed and not indexed?? Thank You all Wayne
