Video Embeding
-
I would like to ask if somebody know what is the best way to embed video on home page. I read that google does not read i frame.
Also it is a problem if i have featured video on home page with link to post where is again the same video?
Also it is not a problem if I plan to be changing the videos on the home page in period of the time 1-2months?
Also, people can embed video from there, is this not a problem?
Thank you for any advice

Thank you very much for this Phil! I will disable it. Thank you!

It's only true if there's actually a text link back to your site included underneath the embed code itself - which the standard vimeo embed does not provide.
If you'd like to rank for the videos, I recommend disabling the community pass straight away, as otherwise Vimeo.com can outrank you for your own video.

Thank you very much Phil,
So now I am confused:-( We are using vimeo paid account where we can control who will embed our video. For now we let the videos to be shared as we want to get views, however we plan to disable it in the future.
I thought that the more people will embed and share the video from our site, it is like they would be giving back link to our site and it will be good for our site...is this not true?

I can't say if the traffic from youtube is good or bad(our Channel is new so we have very little traffic from there) but what I am definitely sure is that it really can't be good if I will have the same video on the site like other 500 people...:-(
Our videos are uploaded from vimeo to our site.

100% not true at all.
YouTube drives an incredibly small amount of traffic from links to websites in every single case I have looked at.

Thank you very much Shane! I like very much wistia, thank you for the tip!

I personally would suggest against youtube and vimeo embedding in your situation ---- read what SEOMOZ associate Phil Nottingham has to say in this thread on a similar topic.
In essence what you are doing, is not really the goal or audience of Youtube in my opinion.
Look into Wisita, not only do you get conversion integration, detailed analytics that can help you make informed decisions about the videos future, Wistia is actually seen as content, so can be indexed as rich snippets.
With that said, you can also keep it in Youtube and VIMEO, and it will not be duplicate content, just use Wistia on your homepage....
Hope this helps

Thank you Kade, I actually have the videos on youtube and linking to the site, but on the website they are uploaded from Vimeo.

I would be posting these on YouTube with a link to your site and not worry about the "unique" factor in your case. YouTube is a great source of outside traffic. If your videos are quality, they will drive traffic.
-
Thank you Kade. We are using Vimeo paid channel as I googled that Youtbe can degrade your site and plus your content will not be unique anymore. But it might be not true, however.
We featuring properties videos and want people actually watch it and go to listing and book the villa. And there is again the video, I do not know if this is a problem, something as duplicate content.

What exactly are you trying to do with your video? Are you trying to get people to understand a product? Are you trying to drive traffic to your website? If yes to either of these, uploading to YouTube is not going to hurt you. Embedding the link from YouTube on your homepage most likely will not hurt you. It may not help in the sense of having unique content, but it will help keep people on the home page longer.
Changing the video every 1-2 months can help if you have a lot of repeat visitors. Repeat visitors like fresh new content.

Video Schema needs a 2nd opinion
I added a video on one of my client pages via html5, added the video schema to the URL, and submitted a video sitemap and the video still isn't showing up a week later in the SERPs. The keyword I'm typing in is a keyword that DOES trigger video results, so I'm wondering if I screwed something up and would like a second opinion. Search Query that should trigger the video: https://www.google.com/search?q=clinton+township+silverado+1500&oq=clinton+township+silverado+1500&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.3798j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 Actual page URL: (html5 video at bottom) http://www.moranchevrolet.com/models/chevrolet-silverado1500 Video Sitemap URL: http://www.moranchevrolet.com/video_sitemap.xml I've added videos in the past via the Wistia automatic schema/sitemap generators and it worked, but via the html5 setup its a little different (like no embed). However, the video appears to check out just fine via the Google schema validator tool. Please let me know if you see anything that doesn't look right. Thanks

Hosting Video both on YouTube AND Independently on Site?
I've got a pretty good handle on the pros / cons of hosting on videos on a free service like YouTube vs. hosting them independently with something like Wistia. But one question I've never heard answered is "Why not host the same video both ways?" Why wouldn't I publish a video to YouTube (to get the exposure and better chance to rank) and then also host the same video independently on my site with Wistia (to get a second listing in the SERPs, as well as a thumbnail that links to my site)? Is this seen as a spammy practice? Duplicate content? Would love to hear your thoughts on this as it's something that seems to potentially be a win-win, but haven't heard it discussed. Thanks!

Duplicate Video within site
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
