    Anyone have any tips on how to get your videos indexed with google video search? (http://video.google.com)

    I have my own flv player installed, and currently none of my videos are in the google index. Youtube videos with the same content are being found, though

    The best option that I see is to have the content / Title / Description of the video. I am not an expert but just an opinion.

    I can get PAGES with video on them indexed. The problem is getting the video player/file to show up in the video search. It seems biased for youtube video now. How, for example, does the search read video embed code from your web page and place it into the results?

    Create a video sitemap and submit it in webmaster tools is the best way I think...

    Copy the code below and paste it in notepad, change the addresses and directories to suit (duration is in seconds), Save it as UTF-8 and name it videofeed.xml

    Add a new sitemap in WMT's


    <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
        xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.0">
<url>
   <loc>http://www.example.com/video1.html</loc>
   <video:video>

      <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes">http://www.example.com/flvplayer.swf</video:player_loc>

    No worries, Let us know how it works.. I added a video sitemap about a month ago, only for 4 videos..
    Just had a look then in Google's videos search, for my key words, and one of my vids came up in the list surrounded by Youtube and Google videos.. So it does seem to work..

    Cheers
    James
