_ I found that the link from my YouTube channel to my website was do-follow. I checked through Moz bar but no one is indexing it. Why is it so? _
-
The channel profile links I saw were not direct links. If you hover over them, not click, just hover, you will see they link to the YT domain first, then go through a very odd redirect that is not recognized by normal crawlers. That is why I think you see it as a followed link ... it's a followed link to them and then weirdly redirected to you. There will not be any passed link equity from this setup as far as I can tell.

It's in the channel profile. I think all the links in video description are no-follow.
-
Depends on where that link is. Is it inside a video summary, in your profile? YT uses their own redirect system that can confuse some tools. Also going to flag this to Product help in case someone at Moz can help out.

Google, Moz, Bing, Ahrefs are no one else.
I am referring to moz bar for checking link whether it was dofollow or no-follow. -
Who is no one else? What tools are you referring to? I assume you mean other backlink checking tools are not listing this link. Is that correct?

Is there any SEO benefit to pulling a picture from another website and linking to it from a blog?
For example, if blog.mountainmedia.com were to link a product picture directly to mountainmedia.com. Would this be considered a high quality backlink?

Internal Links
In OSE, it is reporting that i don't have any internal links to my homepage. In the header on every page is my logo in the top left hand corner which links back to my homepage. Shouldn't this mean then that every page should link to the home page? Similarly, internal pages which link from my main nav aren't showing up as having any internal links in OSE. Any ideas?

Having www. and non www. links indexed
Hey guys, As the title states, the two versions of the website are indexed in Google. How should I proceed? Please also note that the links on the website are without the www. How should I proceed knowing that the client prefers to have the www. version indexed. Here are the steps that I have in mind right now: I set the preferred domain on GWMT as the one with www. I 301 redirect any non www. URL to the www. version. What are your thoughts? Should I 301 redirect the URL's? or is setting the preference on GWMT enough? Thanks.

Please image attached when we try to access his website via google search I just contacted the hosting provider - does anyone have experience with this and how to prevent such hacking in the future.
