          I need a little help understanding how to create two of the required tags for a XML video  site map for Google.

          1. video:content_loc2.<video:player_loc< p=""></video:player_loc<></video:content_loc>

          Google explains their Video XML Site map requirements here:
          www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472
          Using the example on this Google Web Master Help page (where they explain all six of the required tags) , here are examples of the two  tags I need help with:

          video:content_locwww.example.com/video123.flv</video:content_loc>

          <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">www.example.com/videoplayer.swf?video=12...video:player_loc></video:player_loc>

          The video I am trying to optimize is located on a page on my site:
          www.mountainbikingmaine.com/races/bradbury_hawk.html
          This page has an embedded Vimeo video. So I don't have the video file on my domain. It is on Vimeo.

          Here is source code from my page that I think provides the information I need to create the two tags that Google requires.

          <iframe src="<a rel=" nofollow"="" href="http://player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0"" target="_blank">player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&...amp;portrait=0"</a> width="400" height="533" frameborder="0"></iframe>

          [vimeo.com/24580638">Bradbury](<a rel=) Mountain Maine Hawk Migration Count from [vimeo.com/user3219915">dan](<a rel=) sexton

          Using this source from my site, can you suggest what to put in the two tags?

          Thanks!

          Dan

            Hi Dan,

            You only need to use one of the tags ( <video:player_loc>or</video:player_loc> <video:content_loc>).</video:content_loc>

            This is what I'd use:

            <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">http://player.vimeo.com/video/24580638</video:player_loc>

              Unsolved Why My site pages getting video index viewport issue?

              technical seo

              Hello, I have been publishing a good number of blogs on my site Flooring Flow. Though, there's been an error of the video viewport on some of my articles. I have tried fixing it but the error is still showing in Google Search Console. Can anyone help me fix it out?

              Should internal links in my table of contents be tagged as nofollow?

              Hi All, I have the LuckyWP Table of Contents plugin installed. I recently noticed that you can tag your internal links with  and nofollow. I understand that it's always a good idea to link internally and to pass link juice to my own content.  But with detailed posts that have over 20 headings, I'm thinking that internal linking for headings may actually hurt me because it takes my links well above 100. Any ideas what the best practises are in this scenario? Thanks.

              Removing a site from Google index with no index met tags

              Hi there! I wanted to remove a duplicated site from the google index. I've read that you can do this by removing the URL from Google Search console and, although I can't find it in Google Search console, Google keeps on showing the site on SERPs. So I wanted to add a "no index" meta tag to the code of the site however I've only found out how to do this for individual pages, can you do the same for a entire site? How can I do it? Thank you for your help in advance! L

              Do quizzes hurt your site? Thin content?

              We did a 10 question quiz awhile back relating to something we were sponsoring, and it had a decent response. However, considering quizzes just aren't that long, does that contribute to making the site's content thin? Obviously, it's not a major problem at the moment, but if we did more of them would this be an issue? If there's no real issue, I'd prefer not to no-index them, but I'd love some feedback to help make the decision. Thanks, Ruben

              How to create site map for large site (ecommerce type) that has 1000's if not 100,000 of pages.

              I know this is kind of a newbie question but I am having an amazing amount of trouble creating a sitemap for our site Bestride.com.  We just did a complete redesign (look and feel, functionality, the works) and now I am trying to create a site map.  Most of the generators I have used "break" after reaching some number of pages.  I am at a loss as to how to create the sitemap.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

              Can you have a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html on the same site?

              Thanks in advance for any responses; we really appreciate the expertise of the SEOmoz community! My question: Since the file extensions are different, can a site have both a /sitemap.xml and /sitemap.html both siting at the root domain? For example, we've already put the html sitemap in place here: https://www.pioneermilitaryloans.com/sitemap Now, we're considering adding an XML sitemap. I know standard practice is to load it at the root (www.example.com/sitemap.xml), but am wondering if this will cause conflicts. I've been unable to find this topic addressed anywhere, or any real-life examples of sites currently doing this. What do you think?
