\n These best practices include ensuring your video URLs are crawlable, stating what countries your
\n videos may be played in, and that if your videos are removed, you clearly indicate this state to
\n search engines.\n<\/p>\nBest Practice 1: Verify your video URLs are crawlable: check your robots.txt<\/h2>\n

\n robots.txt file isn’t blocking any of the URLs specified in your Sitemap. This includes URLs for

\n video best practices<\/a>), which you can use to
\n tell us whether the video can only be played in certain territories. Using this tag, you have the
\n option of either including a list of all countries where it can be played, or just telling us the
\n countries where it can’t be played. If your videos can be played everywhere, then you don’t need

\n This can result in the search engine’s index not accurately reflecting content of the web. Then
\n when users click on a search result, they’re taken to a page either indicating that the video
\n doesn’t exist, or to a different video. Users find this experience dissatisfying. Although we have
\n mechanisms to detect when search results are no longer available, we strongly encourage following
\n community standards.\n<\/p>\n\n
