Video Site-Map Question

by imagebyandrew
1 replies
I understand that to make a video site map, in addition to the landing page URL, I will need to include the video URL path. What is that?

If, the video is streaming from YouTube for example, would it be the YouTube URL where the video is? What if I use a hosting service like Easy Web Video? Where would I find the path?

Thanks so much!

    yourdomain.com/landingpage.html might be your landing page ...

    yourdomain.com/video.flv might be the video path directly to your video file
    (that could be embedded into your landingpage.html).

    the "direct path" means the direct URL to the VIDEO file, (not the landing page).

    You wont have a direct path to a youtube video file, because they're dynamic.
    Instead, you'll have a direct path to the youtube video (same as the URL) and your site map will still reflect that you have a youtube video embedded on your site.

    If you want the direct path to an easy web video file, right click a download link and "copy url (or address)" to the clipboard.

    Hope that helps,
