YouTube, like many other websites and social media, loves internal backlinking (within YouTube) as they want visitors to stay on YouTube.
The strategy here is to:
– set up several (let’s say 5 to 10) relevant YouTube channels, ideally set up on separate email addresses
– make sure to optimize the channels so they’re relevant
– upload the same (but slightly changed) videos to these tier channels
– of course, optimize the videos, so YouTube knows they are relevant too
– choose your secondary keywords as titles for the tier videos and try to use words from your main keywords as well
– add your affiliate or landing page link in the description, like you normally do for your main videos. These videos rank as well, so you can get some additional sales
– Link from these tier videos you’ve just uploaded to your main video.
1. Put the link in the description along with your main YouTube channel URL
2. Link to these from the cards. You can also link to a playlist that contains your main video
3. Link to the video or/and to a playlist from the end screens
– Link the tier videos in the chain using the techniques mentioned above, so the relevant link juice flows through them all
– Create YouTube URL variations for those videos
– Hit these URL variations with 20 000 – 100 000 backlinks, using a healthy anchor text ratio, with a lot of LSI
Of course, you can submit those videos to the Syndicator and the Embedator as well. I would do this for half of the tier videos.
