Is there anyone tell me when we post a link in youtube comment it becomes Do-follow or No-follow? I am confused in between them.......
#comment #dofollow #links #no-follow #nofollow #youtube

    Here is the HTML code for a YouTube comment I just posted:

    <a href="#URL#" class=" yt-uix-sessionlink" data-sessionlink="ei=OHeEVZfSLsKdWMiqgZAD">#URL#</a>

    I don't see any NoFollow attribute. However, for example, the links in the channel page on YouTube are, for a fact, NoFollow:

    <a href="#URL#" rel="me nofollow" target="_blank" title="#TITLE#" class="about-channel-link yt-uix-redirect-link about-channel-link-with-icon">
    <img src="//s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?feature=youtube_channel&amp;domain=www.do nchokaraivanov.com" class="about-channel-link-favicon" alt="" width="16" height="16">
    <span class="about-channel-link-text">
    #CHANNEL#
    </span>
    </a>

    Hope this helps! Regards!

    It really shouldn't matter. I understand you're link-building, but nofollow only contributes to page rank, a fairly dead concept by now. Why not build links that your visitor will value, instead?

      Links are not even seen on YT comments by any crawler, nofollow or not.

      Why on earth would you spam a google product? Just saying....

      PageRank dead? Man it's updated daily.....

    Youtube links are no follow links. And, the social links you add there are actually dofollow.

    I believe if you verify your domain, you do in fact get dofollow links for your videos, but not comments.

    You-tube comments are no-follow. There is no matter for no-follow or do-follow back links getting a high quality no-follow backlink is better then 5 low quality backlink.

    Youtube links are nofollow. However whenever we give a link in description there is slight improvement in the ranking. Anybody have observed that.
