# Video Sitemaps: Is your video part of a gallery?

Friday, September 17, 2010


Often a website which hosts videos will have a common top-level page that groups conceptually
related videos together. Such a page may be of interest to a user searching on that subject. Sites
with many videos about a single subject can group these videos together on a top-level page, often
known as a gallery. This can make it easier for users to find exactly what they're looking for.
In this case, you can use a Sitemap to tell Google the URL of the gallery page on which each video
appears.

You can specify the URL of the gallery level page using the optional tag
`<video:gallery_loc>` on a per-video basis. Note that only one
`gallery_loc` is allowed per video.
