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

I've just manually edited all the page titles and meta descriptions on a site, when will this show in Google results?
I've just manually edited all of the page titles, meta descriptions and optimised the copy on a client's site. I submitted this for a new crawl on Google via Webmaster Tools but when I do a Google search the old versions are still showing. Will it still take a few weeks for the new versions to show even though Google has crawled it via Webmaster?

Should I include a "|" for better page title SEO results?
I have seen many sites that include the "|" in page titles and was wondering if there is some SEO value in the practice. Example: Product Name | Company Name Instead of: Product Name by Company Name I have not seen any value in it myself other than a good way to avoid stop words. I wanted to make sure. Currently I have the "by" included in the page titles.
