YouTube Video Rich Snippet in SERP
-
Today I was going through one of my sites and I noticed a rich snippet that had a screenshot of a YouTube video for this page: http://www.betheboss.ca/GoTireFranchise.cfm.
When I click on the video it went to my site… almost like authorship. I have never noticed this before, what markup would make it show up? Schema? And what else have you seen this with? I can't find answers anywhere…
I attached a screenshot.
Sidenote: I looked again and now the rich snippet doesn't show up… bizarre.
-
Yeah I have no idea how I missed this haha - I think because I couldn't see it in the rich snippet testing tool.
-
Yelp, each of those sites that have the snippet have the potential to show up in the main search with the snippet showing. It's a fairly new thing. Cool, huh?

Ah I got more information from http://www.seomoz.org/blog/hosting-and-embedding-for-video-seo - I just had a hard time finding the proper information.
-
Ah yeah - that looks very cool! But it was also showing up in the web search… which I haven't seen before. The formatting is different.

Google is now indexing embedded youtube videos as rich snippets.
I did a search on your site and you can see you have lots of these rich snippets showing up. Good job.

Facebook won't show up in SERP
Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

How Should I Optimise Feature Images for Google+ Interactive Post Snippets?
Hi there, I'm in the middle of optimising my site to create decent sharing snippets to improve the overall experience and quality for visitors. One thing I've come up against though is trying to balance site design with the requirements of schema.org and Google+ I've recently just altered the layout of my site to now visually display a brief post description to go into the Rich Snippet Google+ creates, but the images Look a little bit shorter than what they could be. I'm curious to how I could perhaps serve a dedicated image for the Google+ snippet (a square cropped version of the large feature image that's given to each post) while avoiding forcing all users to load a second image I don't even really want to show. I'm also in the middle of deciding what content to prefill the post text with, I'm thinking about tagging my own Google+ id and maybe using some post relevant hash tags too. Does that sound like a good idea? Thanks for 95e0ec7c46e6e66c0a966089d7805813
