I agree with Matthew,
I would make to separate sitemaps and submit them both.
Don't forget to type up the scripts in the video descriptions!

Hi Vinku,
Firstly, I would create and submit a video sitemap for your website to Google. This will help them to index the videos on the website and will throw you up the search rankings. You can either submit a separate video sitemap or add some extra code onto your exisiting one for this.
I would advise you to make sure that you are embedding either your vimeo or YouTube videos direct to the website so that you don't get duplicate videos as these will just compete with each other and be detrimental to your SEO efforts.
Hope this helps.
Matt.

Already ranking high for blog, should I produce video?
I run a website with affiliate links (reviews) and successful YouTube channel. Most of the time we lost the YouTube video review and text review at the same time. Iâve created a couple posts that rank high without a video. But now they are proving to be successful, Iâm wondering if it makes sense to now produce a video. If so, do I use the exact keyword? Or a variation? Only about 10% of our YouTube views come from Google Search. Most of our blog traffic is organic.

WordPress image file names SEO question
Iâm using a plugin to upload images directly from Adobe Lightroom to WordPress and while the process is very convenient it adds âwpid-â to the beginning of every image file name, so my âseo-friendly-image-title.jpgâ becomes âwpid-seo-friendly-image-title.jpgâ. The plugin author claims that itâs a WordPress thing and there isnât anything he can do about it, yet it doesnât happen when using the same plugin to upload to the NextGen Gallery Plugin instead of the built in WordPress media manager. Iâm not really a fan of NextGen though so Iâd rather use the built in WordPress media management. Â This is obviously an SEO forum not a WordPress troubleshooting forum, but I wanted to give a bit of background. My question is whether that âwpid-â at the beginning of all my image file names is going to cause any sort of SEO issue. If not, I wonât worry about it, but if it does Iâll have to either find another plugin or just go back to exporting from Lightroom to the desktop and then uploading through WordPress. Thanks in advance for any input.

Google Places email question
Hi Mozzers- I just watched the recent Webinar on Google Places optimization. Unfortunately I missed the live broadcast. I have a couple of questions: It was advised to use an email at the domain for claiming the listing. What about a Gmail address with the company's name in the address? I try to use an email at the domain, but sometimes I'm not able to get one setup. One of my clients provides a service where clients don't necessarily have to come to their location. I used the radius option within maps but they are still not coming up in other locations. I should note that they have very good visibility in the metro area where there is more competition. Some of their competition is showing up for lots of locations and they have offices in one location. Tips? Thanks in advance! LHC

Google Maps/Places in Organic SERP
This question is regarding having a Google Places snippet consisting of your business location and opening hours appearing in Google SERP when the business name is searched for. One of our competitors who has a location within their name e.g. 'Widgets of Oxford' have a Google Places snippet appear on the RHS of the search results (where Google Ads usually go) when searched for. We are trying to replicate this for our business but cannot seem to find any information relating to doing this apart from that this only appears for them as they have a location in their name. This is because we see a similar snippet when we search for our business name in the format "OurBusinessName in OurLocation). Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
