    Default Google Video Sitemaps Doing Anything For Anyone??

    I have video sitemaps on all my vshare sites. I'm signed up in Google webmasters, and Google scans my sites frequently. I can see results from the pages themselves, but no "video" results at all. In fact the only video results I ever see on google are from youtube and metacafe.

    Has anyone seen any evidence that Google does anything at all with the video sitemaps it collects?

    Yah same here... I don't see a single "video" result in Google for anything but Youtube, Metacafe, and maybe one or two other major video sites. I almost think that a standard sitemap (like from a blog) will do more to get Google listings than this video sitemap.

    It works for me. I have found several of my site's videos in the results.

    I use video sitemaps too, and I guess I need to clarify.... I do see my pages coming up in Google search results, just never in the VIDEO results, like when they show a youtube video thumbnail with the query return.

    For example, if you google "punjabi alphabet" you get a few returns, then the fourth return is a youtube video link, then the bottom of the page my site, thewall.net and a different Punjabi alphabet video, but returned as a text result rather than as a video result.

    See, for me, I don't get any video results in the main search, but I do get video results in the video search. I believe that if you want video search results in the main search, you need a different site map style for that. I'll have to research to see how to accomplish that.

    That was what I meant, with my videositemap I have my videos indexed and direct linked in Goolge but WITHOUT any thumbnail!
    This is crazy, but I think that google is "filtering" in some way some other sites... :(
