Is it better to put a Link in the description, OR is it better to just put it into the video.


I.E. ************/usedasanexample

Put that link in the description or just the video? Because im scared if i put it into the description, eventually youtube will find my account and ban everything else with that link in the description.

when you mean a link in the video, do you mean annotation or simply putting your link written in the video footer for example?

I think videos with the link in the video (as a watermark), rank better. But if you want it to be clickable, just shorten your URL, with many different url shortening services, and youtube won't be able to find the other videos uploaded by you, and delete them.

Good luck!

You can rank videos with clickable links just as well as a watermark. It may be difficult sometimes depending on what niche you are targeting. But clickable links always had a higher CTR for me.
