How to get a thumb image to the left of your Google listings?

**MrCodey** · 04-26-2009, 07:12 PM

I doubt its a meta tag, but like their directory structure, they have algorithms that will pick up to 6 popular links on your site and post em.. at their discression...

A lot of tube sites have that, youtube, break, metacafe, etc. I think its done on a case by case basis.

Authority is key.

Your site needs authority in order to get the thumbs displayed.
the meta for it is

Code:

<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.domain.com/thumb.jpg" />

Hm, I know datpiff is pretty "official", but there are a couple other mixtapes sites with the same amount of traffic.

Traffic volume doesn't equal authority... it's just one part of it, a minor part at it.

Find another search phrase that pulls a video on the listing and chances are it's going to have a thumbnail next to it. Number 10 slot here has a thumbnail for a video.

You put me on a mission to figure it out myself.

They are listed as a video publisher on Video.google.com That thumb is cached there or fed through mRSS and detected as the indexed video listed on their page.
