How do you embed a YouTube video in a mobile version?
-
I want the video to be compatible on all mobile phones (Android, iPhone, Blackberry....).
-
Mmhh.... on your mentioned link they write "... will eventually allow embeds to work on mobile devices" .... in my case they don't allow apparently.
But thank you for your time anyway

I thought the purpose of the iframe version was to detect whether the device needed Flash or HTML 5 and serve up either?
http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html
I see there that it's only aiming to be compatible with native players for mobile devices. I guess it's still not 100% if there's an ad to be served before the video (although that was a year ago).
The iframe embed would seem to be 'upgradeable' (in so much as it'll eventually include mobile support), but I don't think there'll be a way around it just now if it's not working. Certainly can't find anything else about it

On Android it is not working with iframe because it is not supporting flash as far as I know ...
-
Just use the iframe embed, no?
Or am I underthinking it? What devices doesn't the iframe embed work on?

Landing page video scripts - duplicate content concerns
we are planning to create a series of short (<30 sec) videos for landing pages for our clients PPC campaigns. Since our clients all offer the same services (except in different geographical regions of the county) - we were planning to use the SAME script ( approx 85 words) with only the clients business name changed. Our question is : Would these videos be identified as 'duplicate content' - if we are only planning to use the videos on landing pages and only for PPC? -in other words are we in any danger of any kind of consequences from the engines for repeating script text across a series of landing pages featured only at PPC campaigns?

Making a site mobile friendly
Hey Mozzers, Im having a go at making our site mobile friendly without enlisting the help of developers and incorporating additional costs. I am ok with most of it as its just CSS work bar the odd occasion when i need to reposition some elements within the code. However, i have found myself wanting to use display:none {} on many elements that are just not practical on a mobile site. Some pages may have to hide substantial content. Would this be considered an issue or will google just see it as me hiding impractical elements for a different sized screen. I have googled this question for the past hour and there is a whole bunch of conflicting advice. As always, Many thanks

$360 charged to embed 2 youtube video clips on web page with CMS system - Realistic?
Hi All, I have just had a bill from our webmaster / SEO provider for 3 hours work to embed two youtube video clips on to one page of our site (http://www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/raidervision-visual-verification-module-use-rdas-and-vx-gprs-wireless-security-systems) Now i am not an HTML programmer, but i have the ability to insert HTML code in to our eBay pages to embed videos where i want them on a page and it takes less than a minute. Would love to get feedback from several people on how long this should have taken. Is it really anywhere near 3 hours work. Everything else on the page was already there. If it means anything, the site is done in Apach Cheers

Mobile or Responsive canonical question?
Hi guys We are in the process of expanding and are moving our site to magento enterprise. Today we met with a company pitching a seperate mobile site. While Im al for a mobile site in terms of look and user experience, from an seo point i dont believe and "m." domain is the best idea. However if we were to go with a mobile site, would adding canonical tags to the mobile urls pointing to the desktop urls be useful? For example m.trespass.co.uk/category-page has the canonical tag pointing to trespass.co.uk/category-page Im looking for someone who has direct experience wth this situation for one of their clients. Thanks Robert
