You probably also know that YouTube is owned by Google. But did you know with the right strategy, you\u2019re able to backlink your YouTube videos to rank higher on all search engines?<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Google uses over <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/google-ranking-factors\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">200 factors<\/a> in their algorithm for website rankings \u2014 and backlinks at the top of that list. The more relevant backlinks you get for your content, the more likely you are to show up in search queries.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is, you don\u2019t need fancy tricks or even a lot of in-depth knowledge of how it all works. But it helps. Just a basic understanding of search engine optimization (SEO), including how to use backlinks, will go a long way toward improving your link\u2019s position on search engine results pages (SERPs).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn how to backlink your YouTube videos, this guide covers a few useful tips to help you get started.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-114461\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#What_is_a_backlink\" >What is a backlink?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#Nofollow_vs_Dofollow_links\" >Nofollow vs. Dofollow links<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#Link_building_for_social_media\" >Link building for social media<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#How_to_check_if_your_links_are_nofollow_or_dofollow\" >How to check if your links are nofollow or dofollow<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#Why_you_need_to_backlink_your_YouTube_videos\" >Why you need to backlink your YouTube videos<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#Looking_at_video_analytics_to_gauge_incoming_traffic\" >Looking at video analytics to gauge incoming traffic<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#How_to_backlink_your_YouTube_videos\" >How to backlink your YouTube videos<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricktowntom.com\/blog\/04\/backlink-your-youtube-videos.html\/#1_Collaborations\" >1.

A relevant backlink that links to your page tells search engines that your website is important, which can push you higher in search results.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as if you were to share a link with your friends. You are personally recommending something to someone who is interested in that content. When a website shares a link to a blog, video, etc, Google will see that as the same thing. Depending on the website, that \u201crecommendation\u201d can be seen as high value to search engines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\"> However, not all backlinks are created equally. <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the next section, we\u2019ll discuss key differences to consider when learning how to backlink your YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nofollow_vs_Dofollow_links\"><\/span>Nofollow vs. Dofollow links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In terms of SEO, backlinks will fall under two different categories: nofollow and dofollow links. Dofollow links help your search engine rankings, while Nofollow links, for the most part, do not.<\/p>\n<p>Google and other SERPs feed these links to their algorithms to determine ranking value.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/advanced\/guidelines\/qualify-outbound-links?hl=en&amp;visit_id=637963550759364607-2435578330&amp;rd=1\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">A<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/advanced\/guidelines\/qualify-outbound-links?hl=en&amp;visit_id=637963550759364607-2435578330&amp;rd=1\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">ccording to Google<\/a>, dofollow links are the only ones that are seen as worthy of being ranked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s why, when it comes to link building, you want as many dofollow links as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2005\/01\/preventing-comment-spam.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Google created this distinction<\/a> in order to prevent unfavorable link building practices back in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Today, WordPress and many other CMS software will automatically add the nofollow tag to comment links. So, if this is the first time you\u2019ve heard of a nofollow link, it\u2019s safe to say that any spam-related comments you see aren\u2019t receiving any SEO benefits.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Link_building_for_social_media\"><\/span>Link building for social media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you create a link through a social media platform, it affects whether it is a dofollow link or a nofollow link. Unfortunately, they will mostly be nofollow links.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>But even though nofollow links don\u2019t directly benefit from their position on Google, they\u2019re still valuable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The whole point of being on the first page of Google is to get traffic, and nofollow links still generate traffic. It\u2019s just how web developers tell search engine bots \u201cthis is a user-generated link.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_check_if_your_links_are_nofollow_or_dofollow\"><\/span>How to check if your links are nofollow or dofollow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To check a link: Right-click on the link itself and click \u201cView page source\u201d. If you see <strong>a rel=\u201dnofollow\u201d <\/strong>in the HTML of the page, that link is a nofollow. Otherwise, the link is dofollow.<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <\/em><em>12 Top SEO best practices for small business websites<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_you_need_to_backlink_your_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Why you need to backlink your YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In today\u2019s world of marketing and SEO, link building and brand awareness are directly related \u2014 especially with regard to video content.<\/p>\n<p>With a great content marketing strategy, you can earn a high number of appropriate backlinks in a relatively short amount of time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_at_video_analytics_to_gauge_incoming_traffic\"><\/span>Looking at video analytics to gauge incoming traffic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Again, a higher \u201cexternal\u201d traffic percentage increases the chances that search engines will value your videos as credible.<\/p>\n<p>And eventually, you will see higher organic search traffic for your videos. This is because YouTube wants users to stay on their platform.<\/p>\n<p>So, anything that brings people in and keeps them there will be rewarded through promotion on YouTube, as well as Google.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_backlink_your_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>How to backlink your YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can actively build backlinks, it\u2019s important to understand why you need to build them ethically.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\"> Google protects its rankings and will punish anyone who tries to cheat the system. <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Their systems know if a website isn\u2019t following the rules because they crawl and catalog pages constantly. They use their algorithm to determine what a natural backlink profile is compared to an unnatural one.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you gained 10,000 links to your video one day, then only two or three over the next few weeks. More time passes and suddenly your website gains another 2,000 a month later. The Google algorithm will consider this suspicious behavior and likely flag it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you try to spam your video link in places it doesn&#8217;t belong, you\u2019re likely going to annoy people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, if the content you\u2019re spamming your link on has nothing to do with the video, the backlink won\u2019t hold any value anyways.<\/p>\n<p>Link your content in places where you\u2019re going to get viewers who want to watch it. Not just for the SEO, but also the watch time will tank if viewers aren\u2019t watching the whole video all the way through, telling YouTube, \u201cthis video is garbage\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s look at five ways to backlink your YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Collaborations\"><\/span>1. Collaborations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anyone active on YouTube in the early 2010\u2019s knows all about a good old-fashioned collaboration video. Collaborations are still alive and well on YouTube. If you\u2019re a creator in a particular niche, reach out to guest post for a brand or person who uploads similar content to your own.<\/p>\n<p>A good example is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/rei\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">REI\u2019s <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/rei\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a> teams up with different influencers who create content using their products. The brand itself obviously has a large following of hundreds of thousands of YouTube viewers. And, collaborating on a video not only creates a more personal touch for the brand but also helps boost SEO traffic to the influencer\u2019s personal channels too.<\/p>\n<p>This concept is designed to bring in potential visitors who normally wouldn\u2019t access your content. It also makes it possible to bring in additional views from a different creator, which could potentially lead to new subscribers and continual visitors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Embed_YouTube_videos_to_your_website_and_other_related_websites\"><\/span>2. Embed YouTube videos to your website and other related websites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While embedding a YouTube video to your website isn\u2019t actually \u201clink building\u201d, it does create an opportunity to build on the SEO of your video and still gain views. This is true even when users aren\u2019t viewing it on the YouTube website.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have a product demo video on your YouTube channel, you can embed that video on a relevant webpage on your site. Then, when someone visits and views the video on your website, it can continue to increase the viewership and engagement. Again, this tells Google that your video is related to the content on the website and deserves to rank that link higher.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Share_on_social_media\"><\/span>3. Share on social media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Promoting your videos on social media shouldn\u2019t be anything new if you\u2019re familiar with content strategy. Depending on your audience, social media platforms can have an incredible impact on the performance and engagement of your YouTube videos. Some of the more popular social media platforms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TikTok<\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn<\/li>\n<li>Instagram<\/li>\n<li>Twitter<\/li>\n<li>Facebook<\/li>\n<li>Pinterest<\/li>\n<li>Reddit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The more people watch and share your videos, the more your video generates organic backlinks. So it\u2019s crucial to maintain an active social media presence if you plan on link building.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, consider asking yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When was the last time you audited your social media process?<\/li>\n<li>Are your social posts getting you the results you want?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any platforms you\u2019re not posting to?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, Pinterest is a large social media platform with more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/463353\/pinterest-global-mau\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">433 million monthly active users<\/a>. But it\u00a0 may not be the first platform you think of when sharing your YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\"> One of the best new ways to backlink your YouTube videos is by using Pinterest Video Pins. <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These help you attract and capture your audience\u2019s attention using a cover image, since they play in the user\u2019s feeds. If you need help creating a buzz-worthy cover image on the fly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/studio\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">GoDaddy Studio<\/a> has plenty of free templates and tools to easily create your own masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p>You can also take things a step further and use sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/repurpose.io\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Repurpose.io<\/a> to automate this entire process for you. Imagine not having to manually crop, resize or publish your video to each individual social media account. Instead, you can set it up so that it all happens instantly after it goes live on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <\/em><em>12 ways to improve your content marketing<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Create_a_dedicated_blog_post_for_each_video\"><\/span>4. Create a dedicated blog post for each video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Similar to embeds, you can put backlinks to YouTube videos within relevant content on your blog. Not only are you able to create the video and optimize it for YouTube, but you can also curate written content around the video.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the industry, blog posts can offer how-to tips, tutorials or first-hand reviews. This type of content is actionable and provides value to your audience. Anything worth creating a video is probably worth writing a blog post about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Try summarizing the main points of your video, then expand on those points in writing. This approach works particularly well because short videos get the most engagement. You can also post your summary on YouTube and link to the expanded version.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Answer_forums_and_Q_A_sites\"><\/span>5. Answer forums and Q&amp;A sites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Forums like Reddit or Quora are online discussion places for specific niches and industries. These platforms allow members to give their opinions and clarify subject matters. They also allow you to post useful links to help support your arguments or provide answers to questions, thereby making forums ideal for your YouTube video links.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can you get a high quantity of views, but the views you get from Q&amp;A sites are high-quality too. This means the people that watch your video will watch most, if not all of it, to help them learn more about that topic.<\/p>\n<p>You can reverse engineer this tip by using sites, like <a href=\"https:\/\/answerthepublic.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Answerthepublic.com<\/a>, to create content that fills knowledge gaps. If you have the skills or know-how to speak to those questions, create a video and then share it.

With all that you\u2019ve learned in this article, your YouTube channel itself is also great for backlinks because there are many places you can add them to drive traffic and increase your website\u2019s backlink profile score.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backlink_on_your_channel\"><\/span>Backlink on your channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with your channel banner. You\u2019ll want to link your website in the channel description, along with links to your most active social media sites. Then, add any relevant links to your About section.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_links_in_the_YouTube_video\"><\/span>Include links in the YouTube video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, we have the video itself, starting with the video description. Including a link in the first line of the description has a lot of value because it\u2019ll be \u201cabove the fold\u201d when someone is watching the video on YouTube. This means that they don\u2019t have to expand the description to see or click on it, which is prime real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have the YouTube cards and end screens. Cards are a great way to include clickable content while the video is playing. This could\u00a0 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Playlists<\/li>\n<li>Other videos<\/li>\n<li>Polls<\/li>\n<li>Links to other websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123658\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@cardmapr?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">CardMapr.nl<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/youtube?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>End screens are like cards since they pop up at the end of the video. You can use them to link to other videos, playlists, channels and add links to a custom URL.<\/p>\n<p>However, you have to be accepted into YouTube&#8217;s Partner Program in order to add custom clickable links. You&#8217;ll also need to verify that you own the site you&#8217;re linking to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/72851\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">To join the Partner Program<\/a>, your channel must have more than 4,000 watch hours and at least 1,000 subscribers in the past year (at the time of writing this).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the links you include will have some SEO power because they\u2019re coming from a website with some of the highest domain authority.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span>Final thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how to backlink your YouTube videos will help make a major difference in your view counts. Pick one or two steps that are easiest to tackle and start on those. As you get comfortable, you can continue adding more complex strategies to your content plan.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, whenever I upload a video to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/RaisaLynn\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a>, nine times out of 10 I\u2019ve got a corresponding blog post ready to go when my content goes live. Even if it\u2019s just explaining the video or including a few photos, it adds a little extra context behind it that my followers love.
