YouTube is a PR9 website and the world’s leading video resource with an Alexa rank of 3. Unfortunately, the URLs in video descriptions are nofollow links, despite common beliefs that they are. There is no need to panic, YouTube is still an important element in dofollow Social Bookmarking. All you have to do is add your website URL to your profile and follow YouTube’s guidelines to have them rank well. This blog post explores how you can do that in 5 easy steps.
Step 1:
Sign up for a YouTube account. If you have a Gmail account, you can use the same account for YouTube. Google has synced all Google products under one umbrella.
Step 2:
