Which Youtube URL to send backlinks to?

Live4TheRisk

Hi guys,

I got a question as to which URL to send backlinks to a youtube video.

Youtube gives you a short url version e.g htp://youtu.be/xxxx_xxxx

And the following version: htps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx_xxxx

Does it matter which one you send backlinks to?

I build links to 3 https:// http:// And the short URL I think it looks more natural if links are built to varied URLs instead if just 1

Thanks for the awesome advice morphman!

I guess I'll just do that then

I build links to the final URL. for youtube it's the youtube.com domain. Youtu.be is redirect.

I will try to look at it a little differently.

I like this combo because it allows my channel to build some links & authority too.
