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.

Best way to optimize a real estate subdivision video
Hi All, My thoughts on the best way to do this would be to create a video of a subdivision but walking through it, and speaking on the high points of the subdivision, maybe in a condo subdivision where the floor plans are very similar, I would take a tour of the floor plan (probably needs to be a separate video wouldn't you think?). Does google pick up on my voice and can tell what I am saying? So if I were to speak a good bit on the subdivision and what it entails, it's amenities, etc, Google would know it's a relevant video? Any other tips besides a good description and a good title? I know I'm writing for people and conversions and not for SEO. I get that. Thank you and any help would be appreciated!

Author Rich Snippets
We are going through and adding Google schema to our posts. We did the preview and if looked fine, but didn't include the author image. Is it mandatory that the author has a Google Plus account to display their image?

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!

Youtube SEO: Does your channel name / user name matter?
My predecessor left me a gift of what is arguably the worst kind of Youtube channel name: Our company's name condensed to an acronym with some additional gibberish that may or may not have meant something to her. In short: Our channel name will never be searched for, will never provide any ranking boost. Now our Youtube success has been very marginal so far: 31 subscribers, 7,300 video views. Given that situation, should I seriously consider scrapping my channel and starting something new with a keyword targeted channel name? Or does channel name matter so little that I should hold on to my 7300 video views?

Shared articles in the SERP's - who sees these shares?
Hi Folks, I am trying to find out a little more about how individuals need to be connected to see that someone 'shared' something and for this to then show up in my results when signed into Google. Can anyone shed a little more light on this please? I am just looking for extra clarification. Would we need to be connected through Google Buzz? Facebook? Twitter? Quora? LinkedIn? None of the above? With everyone you are connected to through your Google Account? What is Google using when it looks at how I am connected with others? This is from their Blog: "First, social search results will now be mixed throughout your results based on their relevance (in the past they only appeared at the bottom). This means you’ll start seeing more from people like co-workers and friends, with annotations below the results they’ve shared or created. So if you’re thinking about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and your colleague Matt has written a blog post about his own experience, then we’ll bump up that post with a note and a picture..." And... "Second, we’ve made Social Search more comprehensive by adding notes for links people have shared on Twitter and other sites. In the past, we’d show you results people created and linked through their Google profiles. Now, if someone you’re connected to has publicly shared a link, we may show that link in your results with a clear annotation (which is visible only to you, and only when you’re signed in). For example, if you’re looking for a video of President Obama on “The Daily Show” and your friend Nundu tweeted the video, that result might show up higher in your results and you’ll see a note with a picture of Nundu:" Many thanks, Andy
