Video SERP assistance needed

[Aaronetics]

I'm working on a site with a great deal of video content. We also have a youTube page.  I've recently created a site map and submitted to Google. I really want for our videos to show up in our search results, but so far, nothings happening.

Site: www.roydwyer.com

Any advise to what's missing?

Thanx in advance!

Can you please provide your video sitemap url.

http://www.roydwyer.com/sitemapVideo.xml

(hmm...  it's not very pretty)

That is the Issue,

while submitting a Video Sitemap is should be like this

 <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1"><url> 
     <loc>http://www.example.com/videos/some_video_landing_page.html</loc>
     <video:video>
       <video:thumbnail_loc>http://www.example.com/thumbs/123.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc> 
       <video:title>Grilling steaks for summer</video:title>
       <video:description>Alkis shows you how to get perfectly done steaks every            
         time</video:description>
       <video:content_loc>http://www.example.com/video123.flv</video:content_loc>
       <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">
         http://www.example.com/videoplayer.swf?video=123</video:player_loc>
       <video:duration>600</video:duration>
       <video:rating>4.2</video:rating> 
          
       
         
     </video:video> 
   </url></urlset> 

you are using the normal sitemap layout and not using the video sitemap version.

the most important information that is required to submit threw the sitemap is

*   url
*   title
*   description
*   Thumbnail of the video
*   location of the video where is hosted (ie /videos/video1.flv)

I'll correct that immediately.

Another brief question as I'm implementing this - the sitemap you've sent, is that all for one video? So, I'd need to tailor each of the above information for each of our videos - yes?

lastly, since there is already a sitemap in place for the site structure, is my name for the file ok for a video sitemap? 'sitemapVideo.xml"

[wissamdandan]

**For your first question, **

Yes, from <url>to</url> is 1 video.

so you have to add for each video you have on your site.

**Concerning the second question, **

it doesn't matter what you name the file.

but when you finish creating the sitemap.

• Log into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account* Click ‘Add a Sitemap’ next to your site.* Select ‘Video Sitemap’.* Put in the URL of your Video Sitemap. * Click ‘Add Video Sitemap’.

Cheers
