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.

Backlinks from translated content
Hello, We have quite a few articles "out there" that give us backlinks. We were thinking of also translating the content and submitting it to local content websites, so it can provide us with more backlinks. The main questions here, will this content be recognized as the same content as the English version? Also, being in another language, some of the anchor text might not hit the English keyword. Not sure how Google sees it. Any advise on the matter? thx!!

How new website / blogs can earn backlinks?
Hi, As link wheels, link pyramids and paid links are penalized by google and the only chance to get back links is to earn them. My Question is that with a new website / blog, how a newbie with no relationships with established bloggers, can earn links? Because writing quality contents and detailed posts (e.g. more than 3000 words posts twice a month) still would benefits for those blogs having already traffic to share these contents and in case of new blog, due to very low traffic, it would take months or years to enter in the game. Please propose step by step strategy / plan / footprint for newly born website and marketers. Thanks
