30 Links in 30 Days Linkbuilding Campaign - Day 3 - The YouTube Profile

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

There are approximately 100 videos which were uploaded to the Jeff McNeill Thailand Ecommerce Consultant YouTube account, mainly for teaching online courses in Organizational Communication from 2008-2009 at the University of Hawaii. This YouTube account profile now has a PageRank 5.

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.
