YouTube Gives Backlinks to Your Website »

YouTube has added a new ‘As Seen On’ link that will reward websites that send traffic to YouTube.  When a website embeds a video on one of their pages and that sends a high enough amount of traffic to YouTube, the site will get a little recognition and maybe a little traffic as well.

The new backlink feature won’t help your site rank better in Google because it will be nofollow-ed, but it could introduce your web site to a new audience and could help send some traffic love back to you and reward you for your blog readership building efforts.
