These videos were showing up correctly before.<br /><br />I hope this will be resolved soon...Spockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933836428849493222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32069983.post-6107340727761643722012-03-05T10:41:49.876-08:002012-03-05T10:41:49.876-08:00I am wondering if you use the schema markup and ALT tags together will Google penalize you for duplicate content.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Mark Cato of Cap Cat Marketing DigitalMark Catohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02944081305658780082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32069983.post-80315128621706252112012-03-03T05:37:32.973-08:002012-03-03T05:37:32.973-08:00would this markup alert Google any faster than video sitemap??Pahlbod Tehranianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14136141641564726075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32069983.post-84600189808748793442012-03-01T17:44:06.449-08:002012-03-01T17:44:06.449-08:00How can i use schema on whole site?<br />Will it be beneficial?

Boasting spectacular scenery, rugged terrain and extremely welcoming locals, I&#39;ve never visited another place on earth like Annapurna.<br />Helping us get the most out of our trek was our friendly and knowledgeable guide Sanjib Adhikari, a specialist trekking guide and expedition organizer based in Thamel, the bustling heart of Kathmandu. He skillfully guided us across treacherous mountain passes, pointed out the rich variety of flora we passed and, in the evening after hiking, served our meals and played cards with us.<br />Knowing that there are quite a few other less capable and experienced guides than Sanjib, I&#39;d certainly recommend him to other trekkers.
