wordpress tip: using video sitemaps with wordpress

TheSenator requested this on another thread, I found some information that can be quite useful for people running video based sites.

The Problem.

You are not getting the traffic that you would like to your video content. Google is ignoring your video content and you are fed up. By now there are no less than ten million videos on the web. So how do you get yours to rise above the flotsam and jetsam of the online world and float to the top of Google Video Searches?

The Solution:

Create a Video Sitemap. Back in December of 2007, the Google Video team announced support for Video Sitemaps?an extension of the Sitemap Protocol that helps provide Google with more information about your video content.

The Video Sitemap tells Google exactly where and what the video content is on your site. This will help it get picked up by the Googlebots and be fully searchable on Google Video.

Right now video sitemaps are just for video content and they are intended to Google improve and expand their Video search, and to help people get their videos listed in Google searches.

Also mixed with the only current flash player plugin that supports video sitemaps

Starting from version 1.0, FLV Embed supports Google video sitemap generation, the first WordPress plugin that does it for you
