Will backlinks rank a Youtube video?

It is like any other URL in the internet, it will rank if you send good and consistent backlinks to it, no doubt.

Yes, backlinks can rank a YouTube video and the more you build links up to a YouTube video, the higher the likelihood will go up.

Google is more forgiving if you're trying to rank its own property.

It's less forgiving if you're trying to rank your own domain.

With that said, you still have to follow the basic rules of SEO.

All the backlinks that you generate must look natural.

I'm not talking about 1,000 links generated in 24 hours.

That's a dead give-away.

Also, try to get high-quality backlinks like blog guest post authority or glossary site links, DMOZ link, so on and so forth.

I don't think seo is working for a video. Only views and likes help video to rank. I buy a lot of seo service to my videos but they can't rank my videos. Don't try any seo service for youtube if your keyword is hard to rank. Create a good video and wait for people to watch and share your videos.

That's because most services know jack shit of what they are doing. SEO works wonders for videos, especially on-site SEO when done right.
