I found that the link from my YouTube channel to my website was do-follow through Moz bar but no one is indexing it. Why?

_ 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?

Malicious Link
Hello all, We're doing an adwords campaign, and Google has said that there is a malicious link on the website we're looking to advertise - so cannot launch the campaign. I've tried to go through Search Console (I am a novice BTW). And it says that "Domain properties are not supported at this time". Which I don't understand. Any advice please?!

No Index PDFs
Our products have about 4 PDFs a piece, which really inflates our indexed pages. I was wondering if I could add REL=No Index to the PDF's URL? All of the files are on a file server, so they are embedded with links on our product pages. I know I could add a No Follow attribute, but I was wondering if any one knew if the No Index would work the same or if that is even possible. Thanks!

When I look in OpenSiteExplorer, it says that it hasn't followed any of my internal links... WTF?
When I look at my site in open site explorer, it says it has followed 1 internal link.. I know that opensiteexplorer has updated, because my domain rank has changed since the last time i looked. I figured it just hadn't fully crawled and indexed my links, but considering I have had an account here for over a month, and the site is over 7 months old, I doubt that is the case. My site is www.ontracparts.com can anybody help me here?? Thanks, Tyler

Google website-links changing back and fourth
Thought I might ask you guys if you have ever seen anything similar, 'cause I sure haven't. 🙂 I have a client who stumbled across a problem with his website links. Google change them back and fourth. one day one of the links will be called "iPhone 4 accessories" and some weeks pass and then it changes to " 4 accessories". Weeks pass again and then the iphone is back. First I thought to myself that Google might have expanded the AdWords filter to include website-links.. But then I remembered that they were ordered by the EU courts to size that practice.. so that can't be it. Plus allot of his competition doesn't seem to have the same problem. I have checked everything, the links, title tags, page titles exc.. and I acn't realt find any reason why this should be happening to him and I must admit I have never seen anything similar. Any hints and pointers would be most welcome 🙂

Internal Linking: Site-wide VS Content Links
I just watched this video in which Matt Cutts talks about the ancient 100 links per page limit. I often encounter websites which have massive navigation (elaborate main menu, side bar, footer, superfooter...etc) in addition to content area based links. My question is do you think Google passes votes (PageRank and anchor text) differently from template links such as navigation to the ones in the content area, if so have you done any testing to confirm?
