How to setup backlinks for my youtube channel?

A backlink is just when someone links to your page from theirs, so yes they're legal and I'd imagine they'd be effective in improving how your videos rank.

In terms of getting backlinks, you can search the forum to find tons of info on how to do that

The best backlinks are created organically by people loving your content so much that they link to it or share it with their network.

It gets tricky when you try to artificially create backlinks (i.e. buying them off sites like fiverr.com or using tools to build them).

Bloggers used to do this to game the system and rank higher in Google, but then Google came out with an algorithm update that wiped those guys out.

Google owns YouTube, so I'd be careful about buying backlinks because their search engines work in a similar way.

If you build artificial backlinks the wrong way then you can get penalized or possibly get your channel banned.

The long-term approach is to focus on creating great content and having calls-to-actions to share or using content lockers to force social shares.

I'm sure there are other ways, too. But that's my take on it.

yes, backlinks are important for seo, u can rank your video fast

i think backlinks for YouTube is not a successful way better you can try the natural links for your YouTube channel.that will help you.

Instead of thinking of them as back links just promote your channel online in the places where your audience resides. The byproduct will be links pointing to the channel. Some of them will be no follow links but this doesn't matter if they bring you traffic.

Write some catchy title for your video.
Let your description be summarised and understandable to the person watching.
Content should be great to watch and not long enough to get bored.
Ask the user to subscribe to your channel.

Join FB groups related to your niche and post your video in that groups to get link and to rank higher
