Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Morning all, I've started a pretty aggressive Video content push in recent weeks. All our videos are on our YouTube channel. I decided to go with hosting the videos on YouTube based on my research on moz.com, especially considering the potential reach of the content on YouTube. What I'm finding is that the YouTube channel is doing great. We've hit 200 subscribers and 15K views in a little under a month. Wayyyy more than I could have ever hoped for. But the blog posts on our website are getting minimal traffic and no search visibility. That doesn't necessarily bother me, since the intention of our marketing campaign is to use YouTube to drive traffic to our website. So I guess my question is really more to do with optimizing the site with Video Sitemaps and best practices for Google Webmaster Tools. Right now we have YouTube videos embedded on blog posts like this one that have a time-stamp. But I've been working to create Gallery-style pages (no time-stamp) which would have multiple YouTube videos embedded on them like this one. These make it easier for visitors to watch multiple videos without needing to skip around to multiple blog posts. The challenge I'm running into is that when I go to submit a Video Sitemap to GWT I get an error saying that I have duplicate page content within the video sitemap. I've used several WP plugins to do this. It seems that when there is a video embedded on multiple URLs (pages + posts) the plugins will ignore the posts and only add the pages to the video sitemap. Here is my regular Sitemap Here is my video Sitemap I've attached a screenshot of my current Yoast Video SEO config if that's useful for reference. Does anyone have experience with using multiple sitemaps in GWT? I'm starting to think that maybe I shouldn't even bother with a video sitemap. Maybe those gallery-style pages should just go in the regular sitemap? Any thoughts or advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks llQfydA

Hey all, I recently watched the Whiteboard Friday on Good Unique Content and had a question about how we should approach this from a User Experience perspective. If our goal is to create 10x Content (sounds great, I'm in!) isn't this going to mean that we end up with 5000 words of text in a blog post with no way for the reader to approach the content except to start at the top and work their way down? How does the user know that they've found what they want above the fold if what they want is buried in 10K words of text and images? I'm concerned that I'll need to have some kind of in-post navigation to allow users to quickly navigate to the part of the content that's most relevant to them I've tried to overcome this by creating a sort-of visual 'Table of Contents' at the top of my blog post. But I'm wondering if this is a useful feature for users or whether it will detract from the quality of the content above the fold. Has anyone else run into this challenge when trying to create 10x Content?
