Backlink from my YouTube Channel, helpful for SEO?
-
A website will include a link to a youtube video associated with my channel. Does my website also get SEO credit, even though that website isn't linking directly to my site, but rather to a video on my youtube channel. The youtube video is also uploaded to my website, but this website wants to link to the video directly on youtube.
Website is "www.hawaiijobengine.com" and youtube channel is "hawaiijobegnine.com" - how does Google know these 2 are same owner?
thank you

My guess is no -- otherwise, we'd all have the latest viral cat video with 25,000,000 million views also embedded on our own website.

what i was saying the only way to get SEO value to your youtube video. is there the Title, url and keyword tags for searches. Mostly the Title.
As brad said the more your video is shared the better SEO value it creates ( FOR THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE not on your site ! that is what i was trying to convey with the message i wrote. Your site will not gain SEO value because the links as Brad said are No-follows . But you gain seo value by your embedding your Url so people visit your site. Also you gain social signals as more people comment and share.

thank you. A site is linking to my video on youtube, which is a video uploading from my youtube channel. I also have the video embedded on my website. Is my website getting any SEO value from a site linking to the video on youtube? Does Google see a connection between the youtube video and my website? Can I increase the chance Google sees such connection?
thank you

Hi,
If I am understanding this question correctly, you want to know if you get any SEO value from other sites linking to or embedding your videos?
The more people that link/embed is a good thing for you. If you have optimised your videos you can link back to your own site (even though the links are nofollowed). The more links/views/embeds the better.
For an example of this, see this video we uploaded a while ago: http://youtu.be/AGCabu8qjRc
We also embed this video on our site, and are more than happy for others to embed on their site as well.
Hope that helps,

will my website get SEO credit because another website links to a youtube video which belongs to my youtube channel?
You are saying: if the website does not directly link to my website (rather to a video on youtube) then my website will get zero credit for the linking, correct?
thank you

I am not sure i understand the question correctly.
SEO Credit for what exactly?
The only SEO you can do with you tube is in Meta Data, Categories and Name of the video.
Can you further explain what you mean ?
Because as far as i know if the site is not providing you direct link to your website ie: anchor text or sub link in the body of the page that is displaying the video, then you wont really get any link credit per say except people watching your video on the youtube page and linking to your site.
Let me know

SEO suggestions for a directory
Hi all, I am new to SEO. I work for a ratings and review website, like TripAdvisor and LinkedIn. How would one go about setting up SEO strategy for national directories that have local suggested pages? What can be a good practice. For example, Tripadvisor has many different restaurants across the UK. What would they do to improve their SEO? How do they target correct links? How do they go about building their Moz Score? Would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Predictive SEO
Hello all, I am trying to perform a predictive competitive SEO analysis to estimate what I will need to do to surpass my competitors. I am unsure of how to do this and would like some advice or link to an article. What I am trying to do is predict where I can rank in three months, six months and one year as well as what I need to do compared to my competitors. Specifically also to estimate how many links I would need to acquire to both my page as well as domain. I have already pulled my competitors domain links, page links, and age. Adam
