Apple Pie is important

In one of the most interesting tests we have done at HubPages is a small test with video. My first video is about how to make apple pie following a traditional homemade pie recipe. The video is embedded in the page and follows a microformat that should be ingested by Google. I’m looking to see a few things from this test. Will the video show up in the video results quickly, will the text show up in the organic rankings? I’ll be following how this content performs closely.

    Thanks for the catch on the meta. Fixed that. The video results should rank the video, but the article should show in the regular results…it will be interesting to see how much crowding out happens within the blended search results.
