Would blasting a lot of backlinks to target pages in authority domains (e.g. YouTube, Amazon, WordPress, BlogSpot, Tumblr, etc) be effective to push that page up in rankings, or would that page (though it be on an authority domain, even one that Google owns, e.g. YouTube) be sandboxed / banned / ign

Plus what if one were to add a blast of Google+'s and Facebook Likes to such a page (e.g. a YouTube video I want to rank no. 1 for the phrase "dog training tips")

Answer:
I wonder whether Santanu and Marcom have slightly misunderstood your question. As far as I understand it, you're wanting to build links to Facebook, YouTube etc to rank those pages, rather than linking from them out. The answer splits in to two sections: 1. Can you move social profiles up the SERPs through a ton of low-value links? Wanting to move social properties up Google is often used in reputation management. The thinking with using low-value links, I suppose, is that because the domain is so trusted by Google then the normal trust metrics wont count. Whilst this is true on a domain-wide bases (you're never going to get YouTube a penalty by chucking links at it) it's unfortunately not true on a page basis. Experience tells me that, assuming we're talking about a competitive keyword, quality <almost> always wins-out. 2. Can you move a YouTube video up the SERPs in the same way? Video results are far more effected by on-site than off-site metrics. For YouTube videos, this is going to mean the video's views, likes, comments, channel subscription and relevancy - this is what you need to be working on. Chucking links alone at a YouTube video would seem to have basically no effect. +1s may make a difference; I've not seen any data proving or disproving their effect yet. Hope that was helpful!

Fortunately, the answer is 'not really.' Many of the places where you can easily place links don't count much towards ranking. YouTube, Amazon, and most blog comment areas are NoFollow links, effectively hiding them from Google. Could spamming links get your site banned? I'm sure it certainly could, but you're much more likely to simply not rank well.

Most of the authority domains out there are NoFollow links. If you add too many comments on these sites, there are possibilities that you're comment will not get accepted by the moderator, and even if it goes through it won't have any effect on your page rank. To find out whether a site is NoFollow before adding a comment you should check the following: right click with your mouse and view the page source find the HTML link to the site that is being linked to look for something like a rel=ânofollowâ href=âhttp://www.website.com/%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D
