    Does your sitemap send the thumbs? If not, that may be the reason why.

    Yes it does, standard video sitemap compliant.

    Hmmm that made sense so I tried it with the same search I showed above.... and my site didn't show up at ALL.

    Well, mersh, there are two problems with your video site map.

    1. Your video sitemap isn't XML according to the header. You will need to send header information that declares it as XML (as Google Video checks this).

    2. Your player's path listed in your sitemap is incorrect. Google will not show videos if it cannot load everything in the map.

    Ah. Yeah, I wrote my own as mine does not link directly to the videos. Rather, to the page on my site. When you search on Google, it directs you to my site to watch the videos.

    shows up at the top of the map - isn't this what I want?

    Yes, you want that as well. However, no, that declaration doesn't specify that the page is XML. Rather, it specifies that the content is XML. You will want to add this before you start echoing your page:

    Code:
    header("Content-Type: text/xml"); 
    header("Expires: 0");

    What Does SEO Optimisation Actually Involve? I know what SEO optimisation is.....What I am asking is that what does the process actually involve and what do SEO optimisers undertake in order to achieve rankings? If I were to hire a SEO optimiser to optimise my site, what tasks would he undertake in order to get my site on the front page?
