Does anyone know if it is possible to get a "dofolow" link from YouTube? All advice currently available seems a bit outdated,
-
I see that some competitors have links from youtube but i can not see ay advice on how to get do follow links from Youtube - is this possible and if so can anyone advise how? The only advice i can see is a little dated,

Just to add to Ross' answer - I wouldn't worry that those competitors are getting an edge in Google because of the links they are putting on YouTube. Links on YouTube could (feasibly) make Google aware of a page if links to that page don't appear anywhere else but if anyone is relying on that for discovery of pages then there's deeper problems.
If you think that the links from YouTube will be passing authority to your site, perhaps particularly high authority because it's a Google property - that's not how Google interprets that kind of thing and, as Ross points out, the automatic no follow is a sign of their attitude to that kind of user generated link.
Hope that helps!

Hi there,
It is not possible to get a do follow link since all their external links are set with no follow attribute.

It's surely black hat tactics. How do they get away with this? The website has zero content beyond light brochureware.

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

What are "natural" links
With the recent Penguin update, I've seen this term "natural links" thrown around a lot. How do you build natural links? That to me seems like an oxymoron. If I'm building them aren't they synthetic in nature as it is? Can anyone give me a sample of a natural link?

Why are none of my incoming links showing up in SEOmoz or Google? How do I get good legit incoming links?
There are hundreds of sites that are linking to my website, but nobody is showing it. Google wont display any when using link:eugenecomputergeeks.com, and in webmaster tools it only shows 46 incoming links. SEOmoz shows only 3 links. This just isn't so. Why is this? I DESPERATELY need valid incoming links from well ranked websites , and having lots of trouble getting them. Nobody in town with a well ranked site seems to want to do a link exchange, and I've already made the mistake of buying my way into directories, which didn't do anything good for my rankings. Thanks!
