Backlinking from Youtube.com

by Richard on May 19, 2010

Did You Know that NOT ALL Backlinks from YouTube.com are ‘No Follow’ links?

Almost everyone knows that backlinks from YouTube.com are ‘no follow’ and probably have little SEO value which makes YouTube close to useless in terms of building backlinks to any web pages outside YouTube.

There is a heated debate in the SEO world about whether ‘no follow’ backlinks actually count for SEO or not. I recommend you watch this video from Matt Cutts – the “official” from Google’s web spam team about the SEO value of ‘no follow’ backlinks.

My personal point of view is similar to Google’s “official” point of view – it was pointless for Google to introduce all this ‘no follow’ stuff and then, for some reason, stop playing into this game and start counting ‘no follow’ backlinks in it SEO algorithms. This is my personal point of view, I respect the right of others  having other opinions on this tricky SEO issue.

In any case, I have definitely great news for all backlink lovers, because …

NOT ALL YouTube.com Backlinks are ‘No Follow’;
A Full-Force Backlink is Waiting for You on YouTube.com
RIGHT HERE…

Inside the user profile section of  your YouTube.com channels. For example, if you go to my Youtube channel and scroll down the page a little to see the Profile section, and inside this section you will notice a backlink. And this is a real SEO backlink, not a ‘no follow’ link, 100% full force SEO backlink.

See the screenshot below to see where exactly it is located in the Profile section.

You Tube Profile

This is a backlink from PR4 page.

I am not trying to say that all YouTube.com channel pages have high Google PR – lots of them have PR0. But in any case, this is a backlink. Check it and you will see – it has no ‘no follow’ in the HTML source code.

There is one disadvantage about this backlink in profile section – you don’t have any option to use anchor text of this backlink. All you can do is simply place a URL, and no fancy games with anchor text and keyword hunting here. And yes, this is a disadvantage, anchor text based links are the best sort. One full-force SEO backlink from YouTube.com is not bad though.

Is this the Only place On YouTube.com Where the Backlink Comes without ‘No Follow’?

Based on my vast research, I can say in all other places the outgoing backlinks have ‘no follow’.  I don’t pretend to be the source of ultimate truth here. And one of the reasons of writing this post is the following – you can help us all by double checking this information and commenting back if you find something of interest.

Do your own research.

Work through the whole structure YouTube pages (channel pages, tag pages, comments – everything).

Perhaps you’ll find another page/section where the ‘no follow’ rule on YouTube.com is broken – for the glory of us SEO geeks round the globe.

If you find any other examples of breaking ‘no follow’ rule on YouTube.com – please comment below.

SEO – Whats good whats bad and what actually works…

by Richard on March 18, 2010

Someone walks in the world of online business with the attempt to make the money they need to learn SEO. The problem is when a webmaster is trying to classify their site how the top is easy to use tactics of mails that are in the black hat SEO. Things like link farms, building tons of blogs full of links, place ads if they do not, and hiding both links and tags in-house all fall into the category of black hat SEO. On the other hand really work hard to create content master and really taking the time to seek and build relationships promotions may be more difficult but the rewards of using these techniques white hat will be much more beneficial. If you’re confused about the difference between a black hat and white hat seo, it is fairly simple. Black Hat SEO uses techniques unethical to rank well in Google either spam or a delicate relationship building.
