News!! Getting Weblog Videos Indexed, Alongside Schema.Org
You tin set videos into weblog postal service using an icon on the post-editor toolbar - they are 1 type of file that yous don't demand to host elsewhere.
If yous create this, Google volition (eventually) index the contents of your weblog post, based on the text inwards the post, as well as the file-names of the file(s)you've used.
But the spiders behind search haven't quite got the hang of spoken communication as well as picture recognition yet: equally amongst images, yous demand to explicity enjoin them nearly your content.
Webmaster Central lead maintain announced a new agency of doing this called schema-markup.org. This asks people who render videos to demonstrate them inwards their websites using code similar this:
Unfortunately the suggested won't locomote for Blogger users, because the Post-editor doesn't allow us role meta-tags. You tin set the code into your postal service if yous want, but they volition hold upwards stripped out when the postal service is published or viewed inwards Compose mode.
But in that place are exactly about options yous tin role to enjoin search engines nearly your video conent:
1) Edit your template, add together a conditional arguing that is entirely applied to the postal service that contains the video, as well as set the schema.org code (without the H2 as well as Object statement, of course) into the <head> section. Something similar this:
2) Put the description of the video into the blog-post - exactly locomote it into the text naturally.
3) Use a championship arguing to give the video exactly about hover text LINK (I guess this plant for videos - haven't tried it) or alt-text.
For both of the concluding two, recollect that indexing of text on your weblog volition link to your blog-post, non to the video, as well as thence it may non larn the "videos are cool" component division that seems to influence search results. But they are both slow things to do.
4) Load your video to Youtube (or Vimeo or wherever), as well as set the content description into the fields there, along amongst links to your blog, of course.
This volition lead maintain the vids-are-cool effect, but the search traffic volition larn to the host site, as well as may non always larn to your weblog - to larn whatever search-traffic benefit, yous demand to to lead maintain adept links to your weblog inwards their the video-site information, or adept advertisement of it inwards the video itself.
5) Or mayhap the Video Sitemaps or mRSS feeds approach that Google's article LINK also mentioned locomote well-enough for Blogger-users. (Sorry, I lead maintain no fourth dimension to investigate either of these - am cracking to larn comments from anyone knows to a greater extent than nearly them though.)

Sidebar
The code originally given inwards Google's postal service was missing the / at the kickoff of the closing </div> statement. I suspect they'll laid it shortly - but it's why yous may larn a message like
"your HTML cannot hold upwards accepted: Tag is non closed: DIV"
Fix it past times exactly changing the minute <div> to </div>.

<b:if cond='data:blog.canonicalUrl == "http://url of your post"'>Disclaimer: I haven't tried ths myself. But it strikes me that it should work, plough over the agency nosotros bargain amongst other meta-tags when necessary. However "should" is an "interesting" word. Maybe it won't work, if the tags are non inwards the same <div> equally the video.
PUT THE SCHEMA.ORG META-TAG STATEMENTS IN HERE
</b:if>
