    YouTube link questions

    Hey all, how good are links from youtube?
    Should you promote them? If so, how? Link submission?
    I know video in your posts are good for seo but default youtube "sharing" options is in iframe. Is using them that way helping your site or should I be using another way?

    I know a lot of questions here but new to the whole youTube thing.

    Thanks for any help you all can share.

    My personal of view, i think by placing your link at youtube page can't bring a lot of juice in term of ranking purposes, but if for promotion, i would say yes, you just need type in the right tags for the video purposes

    Yes youtube have good PR and TR so profile links is a good option. Google using iframes but they not a "normal" iframes... its a idea for new (big) thread.
    basically. I have no problem with index profile link from YT.

    You are saying to use profile backlinks to video? Any other thoughts?

    I just ordered a video of a post I wrote. I guess I will find out soon...

    Yes I also feel that YouTube profile link is helpful for us. Just maintain your profile daily. Vote to famous and latest video. Share it with your friends and comment on that video.

    I would say any link is excellent on youtube even in your profile. I found one of my urls in someones profile the other day by doing a quick search.

    Youtube optimization is actually one of my main specialties. I've ran a lot of tests and experiments with it and this is what I came up with. Before the redesign of YT, the profile link was the only way to get a followable link from YT. Now it's a nofollow link. Any links you put in video descriptions are also nofollow as well. Although these are nofollow links, I do have a theory that these are still paid attention to by google only since YT is now a google service. I also noticed that when I optimized a video about a service with the company and put a link in the video description pointing to that service page on the website, it helped the video itself perform better in search. This also kind of goes along with my theory about facebook shares being counted as weak links too.

    I haven't noticed any difference on ranking purpose either. I have about 100 videos and 100000+ views total.

    Monthly average that leads to my homepage from youtube videos is around 20-30visitors/month. I don't spend my time daily on youtube.

    Of course you should a link to your profile, and every video you upload.
