The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Google Video Sitemap (XML)

Asked by opalcomp in Internet Search Engine Optimization, Search Engines, Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Tags: XML, Google, sitemap

I have tried quite a bit but have not gotten a Google video sitemap to work.  One other key fact is that the videos are hosted at YouTube, but I think that is fine and I saw one example.

Anyway, I seem usually to get 'Prefix "video" for element "video:video" is not bound.' no matter what I try with the XMLS, URLSET, and other elements.

I am using http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/ to validate right now (Google also gives an error message).  The actual XML file is http://www.planetthoughts.org/sitemapvid2.xml

It has what I believe are all the required tags for a video XML file, and nothing extra.  It seems that Google's documentation and error parse reporting are sorely lacking in detail.

Any corrections that make the current file work, or else a good write-up or description of how to get video sitemaps working when pointing to YouTube content, would be great.
