YouTube is ranked 3rd by Alexa behind Yahoo and Google. YouTube videos can drive traffic, which should be obvious to most people these days. Still it is amazing that the free social media video sharing site is not exploited more by organizations and individuals.
In addition to basic traffic, there is a follow link with potential PageRank link-juice to be gotten.
YouTube Profile Follow Link and PageRank

New YouTube Design includes Follow link for the profile
The new YouTube design, which is still a bit clunky, currently (this may change) supports a follow link from the main URL that the profile supports. Unfortunately there is no anchor text support (once again the importance of keywords in the URL shines through).
For a while the first video's links were also follow links, but that hole has since been plugged.
