Video Sitemap Help
-
MOZ Helpers,
Currently our clients videos are hosted on Viemo and that will not change as our client likes the creative/artist vibe and community via Viemo.
That being said we need to create a video sitemap. BTW, Our site uses wordpress.
When someone in house uploads a video in the future we want them to be able to enter the video title, description, and tags on the video and when they hit "update" the video and information will get added to our video site map.
Wistia has this option here http://wistia.com/doc/video-seo , but like I mentioned above our client has all videos via Viemo.
I found a Google XML wordpress plugin, but that said it only works for Youtube video's.
The Jr. developer is not confident in creating one himself from the Google webmaster instructions and asked me to search for another solution.
Check out the attached pic, that is what I am looking for.
Is their a plugin or another option where we can use for easy sitemap updating and management for our Viemo videos?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Matthew,
Did this answer your question, or are you still looking for some more advice?

Hey Matthew,
First of all, it's Vimeo not Viemo
Second of all here's a link about video sitemaps on Vimeo: http://www.reelseo.com/vimeo-sitemaps/
Have a look and show it to your developer.
Good luck!

Sitemap Contains Blocked Resources
Hey Mozzers, I have several pages on my website that are for user search purposes only. They sort some products by range and answer some direct search queries users type into the site. They are basically just product collections that are else ware grouped in different ways. As such I didn't wants SERPS getting their hands on them so blocked them in robots so I could add then worry free. However, they automatically get pulled into the sitemap by Magento. This has made Webmaster tools give me a warning that 21 urls in the sitemaps are blocked by robots. Is this terrible SEO wise? Should I have opted to NOINDEX these URLS instead? I was concerned about thin content so really didnt want google crawling them.

Sitemap url's not being indexed
There is an issue on one of our sites regarding many of the sitemap url's not being indexed. (at least 70% is not being indexed) The url's in the sitemap are normal url's without any strange characters attached to them, but after looking into it, it seems a lot of the url's get a #. + a number sequence attached to them once you actually go to that url. We are not sure if the "addthis" bookmark could cause this, or if it's another script doing it. For example Url in the sitemap: http://example.com/example-category/0246 Url once you actually go to that link: http://example.com/example-category/0246#.VR5a Just for further information, the XML file does not have any style information associated with it and is in it's most basic form. Has anyone had similar issues with their sitemap not being indexed properly ?...Could this be the cause of many of these url's not being indexed ? Thanks all for your help.

Duplicate XML sitemaps - 404 or leave alone?
We switched over from our standard XML sitemap to a sitemap index. Our old sitemap was called sitemap.xml and the new one is sitemapindex.xml. In Webmaster Tools it still shows the old sitemap.xml as valid. Also when you land on our sitemap.xml it will display the sitemap index, when really the index lives on sitemapindex.xml. The reason you can see the sitemap on both URLs is because this is set from the sitemap plugin. So the question is, should we change the plugin setting to let the old sitemap.xml 404, or should we allow the new sitemap index to be accessed on both URLs?

Adjust the priority field under the XML sitemap option
For those familiar with this in Drupal - is this worth doing? It seems to be a setting that affects the priority of a URL compared to others on the site. It's set to a default of 0.5 but you can increase up to 1.0 I think. Anyone know about this? thanks
