To err is human, Video Sitemap feedback is divine!
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
You can now check your
Video Sitemap
for even more errors right in
Webmaster Tools!
It's a new Labs feature to signal issues in your Video Sitemap such as:
- URLs disallowed by robots.txt
- Thumbnail size errors (160x120px is ideal. Anything smaller than 90x50 will be rejected.)
Video Sitemaps help us to better crawl and extract information about your videos, so we can
appropriately feature them in search results.
Totally new to Video Sitemaps? Check out the
Video Sitemaps center
for more information. Otherwise, take a look at this new Labs feature in Webmaster Tools.
