Google, Facebook, Yahoo and SearchMonkey

From: google.com

Google has come up with support for improving the index of your videos. A couple of days ago, the Google Webmster Central blog has unveiled support for Facebook Share and Yahoo! SearchMonkey RDFa for video indexing.

Google claims that these formats will allow you to specify the information about videos such as video’s title and description in the HTML of a video page.

Facebook Share and RDFa help Google to find out your videos. Below are some examples of these formats:

Facebook Share:

<meta name="title" content="Baroo? “ cute puppies” />
<meta name="description" content="The cutest canine head tilts on the Internet!” />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://example.com/thumbnail_preview.jpg" />
<link rel="video_src" href="http://example.com/video_object.swf?id=12345"/>
<meta name="video_height" content="296" />
<meta name="video_width" content="512" />
<meta name="video_type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />

RDFa (Yahoo! SearchMonkey):

<object width="512" height="296" rel="media:video”
resource="http://example.com/video_object.swf?id=12345”
xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/media/”
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/">
<param name="movie" value="http://example.com/video_object.swf?id=12345" />
<embed src="http://example.com/video_object.swf?id=12345”
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="296"></embed>
<a rel="media:thumbnail" href="http://example.com/thumbnail_preview.jpg" />
<a rel="dc:license" href="http://example.com/terms_of_service.html" />
<span property="dc:description" content="Cute Overload defines Baroo? as: Dogspeak for ‘Whut the?’<br>Frequently accompanied by the Canine Tilt and/or wrinkled brow for enhanced effect.” />
<span property="media:title" content="Baroo? “ cute puppies” />
<span property="media:width" content="512" />
<span property="media:height" content="296" />
<span property="media:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<span property="media:region" content="us" />
