Default Is it helpful to build backlinks for my youtube video?

I am just wondering will it be helpful if you backlink a youtube video of mine so as to appear high in the search result.
Also I would like to know if I put up my link in youtube descriptions will it provide link juice to my site?
Lastly but not least-Is youtube dofollow or no follow?

I'm not sure you would really need to build backlinks for YouTube videos. YouTube is such a high trafficked site that your video should rank pretty well in the search results simply because of the site it is on. But that also depends a bit on the keywords you use in the title and description.

That being said, I do at least bookmark my videos to various Social Bookmarking sites using OnlyWire. This helps to drive some traffic to my videos and open them up to a wider audience.

I agree with the post above regarding the first part of your question. But to answer the second part: youtube (and most video sites) are nofollow, so they will not provide any link juice, unfortunately.

depending on your niche and if you want it to appear in the search results, then yes you will need to build links to it, just like you would with a article.

But you must also promote and syndicate your video to as many related websites and blogs as possible as well to get it viewed.

The only dofollow link from YouTube is the Homepage URL for your account.
