how to build a video landing page on blogspot for better engagement

Why You Need a Video Landing Page on Blogspot A video landing page is a single web page designed to focus on one video and a specific goal — whether it’s to get more views, generate leads, increase ad impressions, or promote a product. Unlike regular posts, a landing page removes distractions and keeps your visitor's attention focused on your video and call-to-action. For Blogspot users, especially beginners, creating a clean and engaging landing page can feel intimidating. But with the right structure, even a free Blogspot blog can deliver a professional video experience that works both for humans and search engines. Step 1: Set Up a New Page in Blogspot Start by logging into your Blogspot dashboard. Instead of creating a new post, we will create a new page: 1. Go to "Pages" On the left menu, click on “Pages” and then “New Page.” This gives you a clean slate without sidebars or distractions, ideal for landing pages. 2. Choose a Clear Title The page title sho...

make your vast video ads indexable on blogspot

Why Indexing Matters for VAST Videos? When your videos are indexed by Google, they can appear in search results and Google Video tab. That means more views and higher chance to earn from ads. If your video ads stay invisible to search engines, you lose traffic and money. Blogspot doesn’t make this automatic — you have to help Google see and understand your videos. Step-by-Step to Make VAST Videos Discoverable 1. Use a Clear Title and Description in the Post Don’t just upload the video — explain it. In your blog post: Write a short summary of the video Include keywords related to the video topic Use plain language Google can understand Example: If your video is a cooking tutorial, write a paragraph like: “This video shows how to make crispy fried chicken using 5 simple ingredients. Watch to see every step clearly.” 2. Use Schema Markup (Optional but Powerful) Schema is like a translator for Google. It tells bots: “Hey, this is a video.” Even on Blogspot, you ...

simple guide to vast ads for blogspot beginners

What Are VAST Ads? VAST stands for Video Ad Serving Template. It’s a system that lets you show video ads before or during your videos. If you've ever watched a YouTube video and saw an ad first — that’s a VAST ad. With VAST, you can earn money from your videos even if you're using Blogspot, which doesn't support video ads directly. Can I Use VAST on Blogspot? Yes, you can! But because Blogspot doesn’t support VAST ads by default, you need to use an external video player that supports it. Don’t worry — it’s easier than it sounds. All you need is a simple video player and a special ad link (called a VAST tag) from an ad network. Step-by-Step: How to Add VAST Ads 1. Get a Video Player Use a player that works with VAST. Here’s a simple one to try: Video.js – Free and open source. You don’t need to install anything. Just copy the code into your Blogspot post. 2. Sign Up for a Video Ad Network You need a VAST ad tag from a company that gives video ads. So...

add video schema markup in blogspot manually

Why Schema Markup Helps Video SEO Schema markup is structured data that helps Google understand what’s on your page. For videos, it tells Google key info like the title, upload date, thumbnail, and description — boosting your chance to show up in rich results or video carousels. Without it, your Blogspot video post is just another URL to crawl. Step 1: Prepare Your Video Details Before you add the schema, gather the following information: Video Title – Short, descriptive Description – 1–2 sentence summary Upload Date – Use format: YYYY-MM-DD Thumbnail URL – Must be accessible (uploaded in Blogspot or hosted externally) Video URL or Embed Link – YouTube or direct video file Step 2: Create the JSON-LD Schema Markup Paste the following JSON-LD code into your Blogspot post’s HTML view. Adjust values accordingly: <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "VideoObje...

connect blogspot to google search console for video indexing

Why Google Search Console Is Essential for Video SEO Blogspot doesn’t automatically inform Google when you upload a new video post. If you want your content indexed fast — especially video — connecting your blog to Google Search Console (GSC) is a must. GSC gives you direct access to indexing tools, performance reports, and video enhancement data. Step 1: Log In to Google Search Console Visit search.google.com/search-console and sign in with the Google account you use for your Blogspot blog. If it’s your first time, you’ll see an option to add a new property. Step 2: Add Your Blogspot URL as a Property Choose the URL Prefix method (easier for Blogspot). Enter your full blog URL, including https:// . Example: https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/ Then click Continue . Step 3: Verify Ownership Automatically If you’re logged in with the same account you used to create your Blogspot blog, Google will automatically verify ownership — no extra steps required. If not, you’l...

optimize blogspot template for video seo

Why Template Settings Matter for Video SEO Many Blogspot beginners focus on posting content, but forget one major factor: your template can either help or hurt your SEO — especially for videos. If Google has a hard time accessing your layout or identifying your content, your video might never get indexed properly. Let’s fix that! Step 1: Choose a Lightweight, Mobile-Friendly Template Pick a Blogspot template that loads fast and adjusts well to different screen sizes. Templates like “Contempo,” “Emporio,” or “Soho” are modern and mobile-ready. Google prioritizes mobile-first indexing — and if your video isn't viewable on phones, you're out of luck. Step 2: Place Video Embeds Above the Fold Try to place your video embed near the top of the post, so users (and bots) don’t have to scroll too far to see it. Example: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yourVideoID" title="My Tutorial" frameborder...
