I am trying to make my video links hidden from users and also from google BOT to not crawl directly my video links
Now I am using the embed code for playing video like this
<embed height='240' width='320' src='www.example.com/videos/videoplayer.swf?videolink=videoname.flv'></embed>
but the google crawler crawl my this link www.example.com/videos/videoplayer.swf?videolink=videoname.flv and I do not want it to published in front users so is there any way through mod_rewrite to write my URL like
www.example.com/videos/player-videoname
these URLs are not typed in browser address bar but are present in page and called from page not through browser address bar request.
Waiting for answer please reply
Will be very thankful to the helpers
Here is one method to address the problem of protecting videos:
I think you said that the video link which is placed on page is actually supported to a real link and this link have conditions which is set in cookies like if the member is not registered so he or she can not watch this video
but in all of these things I can not understand how to forward link to the real link of video like my video is basically placed in the same folder where my VIDEOPLAYER.swf file is so the video link which is placed in <embed> tag is the
../folder/videoplayer.swf?videolink=video-loacation.flv
and I want it to be this
../folder/player-videoname (this can be seen by google bot or visitors and it can be placed in my embed tag and its basically have back hand to)
../folder/videoplayer.swf?videolink=video-loacation.flv
So can you please tell me the script which can do this and with explanation it will me more useful and helpful for me.....
I will be very thankful to you
Thanks in advance
