Why is my entire page appearing as a video result (and only a video result)?
-
A page on my site is appearing as a video result. When you click on the link, it takes you to the page. The page does have a video on it, but it seems weird that the entire page would appear as (and only as) a video...

Nigel brings up an interesting point that sheds light on the importance of content relevance. With the increase of different types of results, business listings, brand/product markup, Articles, Videos, it really solidifies how crucial it is to make sure ALL of your content matches up with the subject.
Even when you do do your best to do everything right, definitely expect Google to throw some curve balls at you. For example I couldn't rank for "Font Awesome Rocks" but apparently, Awesome Rocks got taken down! ROFL

Hi Andrew
Google will feature a page with a video embedded in their video results - it will also show the run time of the embedded video in minutes. If the SEO of the page is good and it has relevant content to a person's search then it will also appear in All search results, but it will not show the video. (It used to show the video thumbnail - a few years ago but not now)
I hope that helps - it's all good! the more places you feature the better.
Regards Nigel

How do I prevent duplicate page title errors from being generated by my multiple shop pages?
Our e-commerce shop has numerous pages within the main shop page. Users navigate through the shop via typical pagination. So while there may be 6 pages of products it's all still under the main shop page. Moz keeps flagging my shop pages as having duplicate titles (ie shop page 2). But they're all the same page. Users aren't loading unique pages each time they go to the next page of products and they aren't pages I can edit. I'm not sure how to prevent this issue from popping up on my reports.
