Lots of youtube videos, but no links.
-
Hi,
I have more than 100 videos on youtube with thousands of visits. This videos are often inserted in other websites, but I don't get links from them. How to take advantage of it?

There's really no way to force people who embed your video to link to your website. The best you can do is encourage them to do so within the content of the video itself.
Maybe it would be beneficial to play around with how you present your website in your videos. Pay attention to what works and keep improving on that.

Thanks Scott
I already put a comment with the URL of my website in all the videos (image and text comment).
The question is that there are many video compilation websites, where people gather and share they favorite videos. But embeding my videos in those websites do not generate links to my website.
So my videos are shared, I get traffic (I guess) but I do not improve my inbound links.
I have to think about how to promote the forum. It's a good idea.
Thanks again!

Consider mentioning your website or a page on your website within your videos.
"Check out www.mywebsite.com/something-people-like.htm For More Awesome Content"
The idea is that if you have a page on your website that provides value to your viewers - and they know about it - they will naturally link to it when they embed your video. The trick is figuring out exactly what people will find valuable (more valuable than your YouTube Channel) and effectively communicating that to your viewers.
It might be a good idea to promote your forum within your videos. I'm sure many people have questions and it doesn't apear to be very clear where to go.
Another idea would be to promote a like to your courses within your videos.
Hope that helps,
Scott

Thanks Rasmus.
I have a website (in spanish) related to electric guitar for beginners.
http://www.rockandrollparamunones.com/guitarra
I have lots of videos in youtube. My channel name is "ociosu"
This could be a sample video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlTq_eeq5kY
These videos are linked from my website, where I also have a forum and theory.
The fact is that if I look for "rockandrollparamunones.com" or "rock & roll para muñones" in google, I can find hundreds of links to webs that embed my videos, but my website only have few incoming links.
I have no idea of SEO. Just beginning. I didn't know link building was so important!
So I would like to know if I can take advantage of that to get links to my website.
Thanks again!

Can you post an example of a video here, I think that would help a lot to narrow down the search for a solution.
Do you have a website to which you want to drive traffic from these Youtube videos or are you looking toward getting as much trafic on your youtube videos as possible?
I've found this blog here on SEOmoz, which i thought was rather inisightful:

Is constant contact a good source for seo links? how about best of the web? Is tweet angels a smart move? anybody got a good list of strong DA and PA link companies you can do business with and also get strong follow links from? thanks...
Thanks for all you guys do I am writing because I am trying to build a company's SEO link profile with links that have super high, and super stable Domain and Page Authorities (as well as solid Trust and Citation flows). I do this organically and even build my own sites using moz strategies - BUT, I am in need of your best advice: What are some links you can "buy" (as a result of using services from) that are strong and dofollow? Is Constant Contact good? Is Best of the Web good? tweetangels smart? I have seen several businesses with constant contact links (very high domain authority) on their profiles and as the head of business development for a mid-sized marketing firm, I want to see if constant contact, botweb, etc. are smart sources to put my clients on for the sake of the seo profile links - I am looking for strong, long-term perma-bumps for my companies and don't want to miss out on low-hanging fruit (that won't poison me in the end). Can you speak to that please? Do you guys have a list of directory links or 'whatever' links that are "get-able" by a regular guy like me that are not simply 2.0 nofollow? Thank you Ben

Does a link in facebook count as a backlink?
Q: Does a link in a facebook post count as a backlink? Q: is it a 'do follow' or 'no follow' link? Q: twitter uses short links, so when someone links to me, do i get the points/juice from the backlink?

Shortcut Link and Referral domain in Google Analytics
Hello, One of my clients has a Facebook page for his company, and his social media manager posts some promotional and educational posts on daily basis. the social media manager uses affiliate ID's in the destination URL to track traffic and leads that come from the social media and to make it look nicer he uses shortcut links service - bitly. Now I have a few questions about this: I don't see traffic comes from bit.ly or bitly.com in Google Analytics, my question: is using 301 redirect makes Google Analytics understand that the last website which sent the traffic to my website is not the actual Referral website? Is using shortcut links in the social media damages the links value (even though they are <nofollow>links - but still considered as signals from social media</nofollow> Thanks. LorS1nd.jpg

Analytics tagging on social media links
Curious: do you all tag your social media links with Google Analytics parameters? I know Google Analytics automatically tags referrals from social channels, but I am interested in possibly adding additional tracking parameters to links that I share and potentially promote. If I tag my social links with GA tracking codes, and they are shared widely, do I lose any potential SEO value from those links? I know Google isn't necessarily factoring in social shares from Facebook, etc. yet, but it would seem that, since tagged links are ones that we've influenced, any shares of that link would potentially be considered unnatural? Just curious what others' best practices are for social sharing. Thanks, in advance.

What's the best way to get links from images?
I have a few images that I have taken recently and I was wondering what might be the best way to use them. Ideally I would like to get a few links or some interest via social networks. I know I've a few options including: adding images directly to the website adding images to Flickr or similar adding images to Google+ adding images to Facebook adding images to twitpic or similar I was also intending in keeping some images to include directly in posts. Should I concentrate posting images directly on the site or use social networks? Which social networks work well for images? How can I use images to get links?
