Can you add too many links to a Youtube video?

I just uploaded a Youtube video testimonial from my Pastor for my in home computer virus removal service here in Honolulu Hawaii. I included a link to my website first thing in the description naturally, then at the bottom a link to his website and a link to the Christian Business Network.

Can this many links be considered spam by Google?

Thanks

Rick

    It probably won't be considered spam, but as a general practice, the best thing to do when it comes to Youtube is the link you want clicked on on the first line in the description. Then at the bottom, ideally a link back to your channel or relevant playlist. That tell Youtube you're helping them out too, which they like, and it links back to your videos.

    I personally just add one link at the top and one at the bottom - even if it's the same link, just to make sure it isn't missed.

    Putting a gun on anyone's neck seeking appreciation is useless. Idea is try to promote your video in a natural manner. Putting a link in the video is sufficient rest everything can be done by the search engines ( or crawlers).

    Rick, I would always suggest just ONE link and here is why. Let's say you are going to buy a brand new car from me. Okay here we go:

    Rick, I have this amazing Chevy truck over here. It's red just like you wanted. Oh, you know what, this new Lexus just came in too, that is on another lot. It is also red, jump in the truck and we will go down to see that and when we get back I can take you over to see the new Red Honda...and before you know it, we will stop off at McDonalds because we will be so side tracked that you will leave my lot confused and without buying anything.

    Youtube is an easy distraction...What Do You Want The To Do?
    Visit HERE... that's it. TEll them the Only action you want them to take. They have 2 options:

    1. watch video and click here
    2. leave

    I hope that helps.
