      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&amp;byline=0&amp;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>
