How to make video snapshot appear near your search result
-
What's the proper way to have google display a video near the search result for my webpage (I'm using LeadPlayer to play videos).
I think that the information regarding the video is there (I also submitted a video sitemap) but when I do a search the author picture is displayed instead of the video.
Have I set anything wrong? How can I display the video if my post contains a video?
You can try searching "phraseexpander create customizable templates"
There's my youtube video and then the result from my webpage http://www.phraseexpander.com
I would like to display the video as a result.
Thanks a lot.

I'm currently using XML Sitemap for Videos that generates the video sitemap.
Is that enough? I also saw this plug in http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/ and it looks like you can display video snippets even if the video are hosted on youtube.
What's your experience?
Thanks.

Lead player just integrates with the YouTube API - so it's no different to just embedding the YouTube version on your page.
If you want the video rich snippet, a much more surefire way is going to be self hosting your video - or using a third party provider like Wistia.
Also, you should put your video sitemap in your robots.txt file as well as submitting through GWMT.

How did you build the video sitemap? Can you post a link to the video sitemap?
Best,
Christopher

Local search optimisation
One of the major keywords in our industry “fireplaces” is now viewed as a local search phrase & Google seems to be displaying website results that it views to be local businesses. We have 2 stores, and for some reason they do not appear high on the rankings despite us having a physical location near by... can anyone help? Also, we have a verified location on Google place, but even that doesn’t appear.

Is it possible to hide some of the on page results?
I have set up on page reports for keywords against specific pages... but I have a whole other bunch of reports which are automatically run by the system (many of them not really relevant at the moment in time) so, I'm wondering if there's a way to filter out just my own reports? This way I can focus on improving my target pages, rather than having to find them in amongst all the sys gen reports. Apologies if this is a rather obtuse questions.... newbie user. Thanks in advance. Khaled

Page title changes based on results per page
I have a product listing that allows customers to set a results per page option. This ads a GET variable to the URL. I've added the page number to the title of this page if they go past the first page. If this results per page variable is added to the URL then google see it as a different page. Do I need to change the page title for this?

Numbers in URL's - Search friendly or not?
Hi Mozzers, I have a client who has just launched a new website and we are having difficulties in making the URL's search friendly. I wont get into the technical aspects, but I'll explain the potential solutions the developers have given me. current: www.site.com/en/product/browse-by-product/37/22 Where 'en' stands for the English version of the website, 37 is the product category for example 'hard drives', and 22 is the product name or example 'seagate' Option to fix; www.site.com/en/p/product/hard-drives-37/seagate-22 This optional fix reduces the word product down to p, reduces 'browse by product' to 'product' and inserts the category and product names. Note the category identifier '37' has to be included in the URL, and the product identifier '22' also has to be in the URL. Obviously this is not great, but it is required at the moment. Best case scenario would be to have the URL like this... www.site.com/en/hard-drives/seagate So my question is, how far off the best case scenario is the option to fix? Scale of 1 to 10 would be good?
