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.

Backlink Help - Contact Site Owners or 301 Redirect?
Hi, I am performing some backlink updates for a client and would like to know if I can speed the process up. Currently I am contact site owners and asking them to update the links that appear on their website of my clients. As this is tedious work, can I just setup 301 redirects for these products instead of contacting site owners and asking them to change the URL? Is there any benefit to having the proper URL on other websites? Thanks in advance!

Getting backlinks on a page using https
Our company got a backlink on a page with high DA but using https (https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/) more than 2 months ago. However, this particular backlink was never counted by Open Site Explorer or other backlink checker. I've contacted the Moz Helpdesk and they said they are having issues crawling https sites. So I'm wondering if anything I can do to make sure this backlink gets counted? Thanks.

Does it help to have more than one backlink from the same website?
I have received two follow links from a website with a domain authority of 64 because I contributed to 2 blog posts. Will it help my site to get more back links from this same website or should I focus my efforts elsewhere?

Individual keyword pages or single page with backlinks and anchor text?
Hi, I was wondering which is the better strategy? People say the keyword dig is the basis for any SEO strategy, which i totally agree with, however, traditionally the strategy for these keywords has been to write fresh content based on sometimes very similar keywords / terms to attract specific keywords traffic... With google getting smarter and smarter, would you say it is safer (if you know you have a very tight and stable backlinking strategy) to backlink a page that has a number of your similar keywords present, with the relevant anchor text on the inbound sites? So in essence the site ranks for multiple keywords..? I hope this makes sense, it's a very difficult one to get out onto paper! 🙂 Many thanks in advance!

Should we BackLink to Guest Post ?
Hi, I have been actively doing guest blogging for last few weeks . But the page authority , moz Rank and moz Trust of my guest posts appear 0 as those posts have their own pages on blogs with snippets of posts on home page. I wanted to ask if i should backlink to my guest posts to increase the authority, mR and mT of pages. Those posts are already appearing as backlinks in webmaster tools but if i backlink to my posts to increase mR and mT, then will it also increase the juice passed by backlinks in those posts to landing pages on my site ? Thanks,
