Youtube Backlink
-
We've had our Youtube Channel fairly optimized for several months now. Part of that effort includes the link back to our site which is allowed on Youtube. When doing link research I see Youtube links being given credit to competitors but haven't seen Youtube show up in backlinks reports for our site yet. Is there any way to speed this up? Our Youtube page with the link has been indexed and a cached version of the page is in Google's SERPs.
If there are any tricks to getting this going that anyone is aware of I'd like to hear it.
*The link on Youtube returns a 200 and is followable. I'm using the SEOMOZ tool and Open Site Explorer to do backlinking research.

Youtube is a huge site and is probably crawled daily, I would imagine if your link is not showing up after several months then there must be something wrong on your side.
Would you care to share the Youtube channel, I understand if you don't want to but just trying to help.

Our Youtube page uses the www which is our preferred domain. OSE gave similar results and did list the Youtube link for competitors but not us.
I don't want to get too hung up on getting juice from this one single link but if there are techniques to accelerate the process that would obviously be pretty nice. I want to make sure we benefit from this link at some point because it was a deciding factor between uploading videos on Youtube vs. other services with potentially better reporting.

Oh, if you're PA is 47 on the youtube-profile - it's should really have been indexed, especially if you've had the profile up for 2-3 months.

Sorry Ronan, I confused you with Dave because you have the same avatar/profile picture. Please ignore my inrelevant answer.

The PA for our page is listed as a 47 in using the SEOMoz tool. Hmmm, based on your experience you say OSE would probably have it indexed in 40 days-ish (the link has been there for several months I believe by now, maybe 2 or 3). Thanks, I didn't know if anyone had any tricks like adding the link to your sitemap or some how linking the two to speed up the process. We don't link from our site to our Youtube channel right now which we should, for non-SEO reasons. Maybe I'll push that forward and see if that does anything.

Yes, I've used OSE for checking backlinks. The link from Youtube has no WWW, this is because my site doesn't use WWW by standard. By using WWW in the link, I would loose link juice.
What's the PA on your Youtube-profile page?
-
Does your link from youtube contain WWW or without it? Have you checked inbound links to your site using OSE for the same?
-
This might be a kind of basic question to ask but... have you any backlinks to your profile on YouTube? My Youtube profile has PA (page authortiy) 55 with 3 backlinks.
What does the SEOmoz-bar says? What's the data (page authortiy) for your youtubepage? You should really (!) have in indexed in Opensiteexplorer if you've had any backlinks in the recent ~40 days. The only way I can think of to speed this up is to actually build more backlinks but pinging won't help.

How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.
So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

World.edu -- is that a good website to get a backlink from?
I saw the "World.edu" as a place to get a small blog and could create backlinks. But it seems like it may be a PBN which google doesn't like. What are your thoughts of world.edu?

Hoth v Fiverr v general backlinking services
So the company I am working with has purchased backlinks from Hoth and Fiverr. We have noticed that a lot of links seem to be from very low level DA's as well as wix,wordpress blogs that seem like they are the bottom of the barrel as far as links are concerned. Is there any value to even having these. Is there a way we can quantify the value that these links provide. It is relatively expensive to purchase these packages, if the company can ensure DA50 posts is it worth doing that sort of this? Is it better to have a lot of a little or a little of a lot.

Backlinks - Linking to new domain
Hello Moz community! My established client recently franchised their business by adding a metro area location. We have thousands of back links built to the corporate website, a lot of which have anchor text that are geo-targeted to the new metro area website. We still find the corporate website important, but would rather focus our efforts now on the newly franchised location. Does anyone have experience with successfully having old links changed to a new domain and if so how? When changing directory listings, such as everything on get listed, is it better do do slowly or as much at once as possible? Any recommendations or information would be appreciated! Thanks!

How much important is the connection between content and backlink relevancy?
My question is about the connection between web page content and backlink relevancy, how much it is important? Let’s have an example: If I publish a guest post about “cell phone model review” and get a link back to my website which is on the subject of “cell phone monitoring”. Now my question is: Is this a relevant and good quality backlink? As content is about “cell phone Model Review” while the backlink is about “cell phone Monitoring”, How Google would take this as if; 1- Anchor text is “cell phone monitoring” 2- Anchor text is URL based

Is there a tool I can use to check backlink profiles against each other
Hi, Does anyone know of a tool where I can compare 2 (or more) backlink profiles to check common linking domains. It is one of those things that I know I have seen somewhere before but cant remember for the life of me where! Thanks

Has anyone ever shared a list of all their backlink sources?
I am currently in the research stage of finding more sites that I will be able to do things such as submit infographics, guest post, or get easy backlinks that are legit. I feel out of options, as I have already built links with a lot of sites but feel like I need more. Has anyone ever seen someone actually sharing all of their hard work by providing a list of all the sites that worked for them? Or does there come a point when really your only option left is to guest post or be a HARO source? I have been doing those things all along--I'm not just looking for easy, lazy links! Is there anyone who's gotten a site up to a high PR score who's felt out of options, like they've already done all they know how to do? I'd like your opinions. I know it seems like an outrageous question to ask, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'd be willing to share sources too; I'm not just trying to mooch off people!

Starting My First Backlink Campaign
Hi Team, I've started my first campaign and would like some advice on building backlinks. I have got the no. 1 competitor's backlinks through OSE. Here is the first backlink URL as mentioned in OSE. for them: www.uofaemergency.org/ (DA: 45 PA:44) However the backlink appears on another page of that domain, not on the homepage as it says in OSE. That backlinking page as a PA of just 1. Do I go for the homepage or the page on which the competitor's backlink appears? It is an unrelated site to the niche and the content in which the link appears is nonsensical. Does this matter as far as link juice is concerned? Is this a good site or page to get a link from? How do I go about getting an in content anchor text link from this site? What's the required process? I would like to start buidling good links asap and start to get rankings for my site. Thanks. Sunil.
