hi, hope a few guys who know vidiq can answer this.

when i view any competitor youtube video, i notice that the vidiq overview dash board on the right, under the SEO section it shows analytics for referrers and embed srcs. when i hover over this it says that "these are the external pages that link to this page and the external links that link to this page:" and then it shows you a list of these links. when i click on one of these links, e.g one of the links was for a site ru-clips.com . so when i click on this link it take me to that website which seems to be a website that has a collection of youtube video which they have categorized in their own. heres the URL

theres also no option of uploading your own video there.

iv noticed the big channels have many referrers and embed srcs, which im assuming are some sort of backlinks. my questions is how can i or small youtubers get the same types of backlinks from these similar websites. also what does this feature vidiq actually mean? and how can i take advantage of it?
 
you can do the same with this website: http://masspings.com/youtube.php just enter ur Video ID and hit Start backlinking, after couple of days you'll see these links in "Referers" tab.
 
You don't really need to do backlinking to get the VidIQ Refs and Embds. I also wondering about that at first. But, when I checked back my old videos which have decent views does showing the VidIQ stats as that video have 200 embds and 100 refs, although I didnt do any off page SEO like: mass pinging, buying embds etc. I think its normal, when you'll get lots of views, the Sites with videos collection, that you have mentioned in your post, crawl them automatically.
