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.

Do you get dinged for Duplicate video content?
If a vendor who creates your video posts it on their Vimeo account and I post it on my YouTube account will Google count that as duplicate content?

Embedding Youtube Video Problem
I'm under the impression that when working with WP, it's best to embed videos from youtube rather upload your own video. However, I really don't like the video previews that come at the end of video if it's embedded from you tube. Is there a way to "turn that off" so the video just ends without previewing all the other videos? Thanks, Ruben

How do I merge a google+ and a youtube account?
Before Google merged Google+ and Youtube, we had opened a Google+ account for our business from one email account and a separate account on youtube from a separate account. Now that Google merged the two channels, it created a new G+ page for our youtube account. but I want to merge the youtube account with our formal Google+ page. How do I go about doing that Thank you Joni

Trying to link a Legacy Youtube account to a Google+ Page, the option isn't available...
Hello,
Social Media | | allstatetransmission
I am working on one of my clients projects and would love some advice before making some changes to their Google+ and Youtube account. We created the youtube account before Google+ and Youtube combined so we have a seperate name for the Youtube and Google+ Profile. They were created using separate emails, but both emails are managers of each others "account." We can't combine the two as it won't give me the option, only the option to create a new Youtube channel based on the Google+ Profile. But I already have videos loaded up on the Older Channel that I would like to keep and use for my current Google+ Profile. I have tried to disconnect the Youtube channel to hopefully get the option to link the two, but it just says it is a unavailable option. So my question is:
What advice do you guys have with any of this type of Youtube and Google+ mismatch profile/channels? I am not finding much online besides links to unattaching accounts but that is giving me a message saying that it isn't possible. Or would creating a new channel linked to the Google+ page and just reuploading the videos/transcripts be my best bet? Thank you for your feedback, and if you want anymore details (I know this description when not looking at the accounts might not be enough info, feel free to ask.) I really appreciate it. J0 -
What advantages does Wisita (video hosting) give over using YouTube?
I am currently undertaking a review of how we use video on our website and I am wondering what advantages Wistia provides over using YouTube? My current stance is that we would use Wisita for our high-production value videos, and YouTube for videos embedded within our content pages so we can make use of the playlist functionality. If anyone can provide insight into this, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance, Chris

Do facebook likes have a direct impact on SERPS?
If a post on my site receives a lot of facebook 'likes' does that have a direct impact on the rankings for that post? I notice SEO Moz track them so I guess they must be pretty significant. Also if someone visits my facebook page and 'likes' for example a link to an article on my site does that have an impact on SERPS? I can see that 'liking' something is a vote of confidence or a trust signal that google could use but I would imagine that if someone actually shares my content on their facebook page that would be much more valuable than a 'like'? If facebook is important to SEO then is it worth setting up facebook ads to get my facebook page in front of an audience so that I can build 'likes'?

Any official stats on authorship impact on SERP click-throughs?
I'm trying to make another push to get authors on my site to set up authorship. Can anyone point me in the direction of any official stats from Google on the impact of authorship on SERP click-throughs? I've seen some articles on SEO sites that make it seem like the lift is anywhere from 20-40%, but those seem to be site specific cases. I'm wondering if there's any broader studies out there or official data from G. Thanks!

SEO Moz Page authority and Domain authority do not correllate wih SERPS
I have checked the competitive landscape and the rankings with the keyword difficulty tool. E.g. for "Schuhe" - google.de - the rankings do not correlate with MOZ Page authority and Domain authority. What are the reasons for that and what are the important factors currently not reflected in SEO Moz Page and Domain authority?
