Are you allowed to backlink from Youtube?

4 replies
I have read a lot of advice on how to backlink to youtube, (some on here) to build traffic but in their terms of service they state
"# you agree not to use the Website or the Services (including the comments and email features in the Website) for the solicitation of business in the course of trade or in connection with a commercial enterprise;
# you agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the Website with respect to their Content"
That seems pretty clear, or am I missing something?
I am in for the long haul and do not want to do something that might damage my website's standing further down the line.
So, has anybody had any problems with Youtube?

    Is you link to a "business" offer or to a personal blog? I have read some people here suggesting affiliate linking through a "redirect" to clickbank, etc.
    Perhaps they register mutliple accounts on youtube.

    I think it's not a problem to put your website link inside the description. I see many people do that and don't have a problem about it. I agree with ZaneAbden about not spamming people comment.

    I know many big companies that have their own channels and they clearly use that for marketing purposes. They also put links to their websites
