How to get a backlink from Dailymotion?
Dailymotion is useful when you already have a reason to maintain a public video presence. The quickest backlink path is a public profile website link; the second path is a video description link attached to a real uploaded video. Both inspected paths were nofollow, so use Dailymotion for referral traffic, entity consistency, and branded discovery rather than as a dofollow shortcut.
Method 1: Add your website to a public profile
- Create or sign in to a Dailymotion account.
- Open your account or channel profile settings.
- Add your website URL in the profile website field and fill out the profile description so the page looks legitimate.
- Save the profile and open the public profile URL while signed out or in a private browser window.
- Confirm the website link is visible on the public profile.

Method 2: Put a contextual link in a video description
- Start from Dailymotion’s upload flow at dailymotion.com/signin?urlback=%2Fupload.
- Upload a legitimate video: a product demo, tutorial, event clip, customer story, interview, or other media asset that belongs on a video platform.
- In the video details, write a useful description and include one or two relevant URLs where viewers can learn more.
- Publish the video publicly.
- Open the finished Dailymotion video page and inspect the description link. During research, URLs in a sampled video description rendered as clickable anchors with
rel="nofollow noopener".
Do not upload low-effort clips just to place a link. A Dailymotion link is most defensible when the video gives viewers a real reason to click through to the destination page.

Key challenges to get a backlink from Dailymotion
- Nofollow links: Profile website links and video-description URLs inspected in the browser rendered with
nofollow, so treat this as referral and brand-discovery value rather than strong link equity. - Real video fit: Description links make sense only when you have a real video, tutorial, demo, interview, or media asset to publish.
- Login-only editor: Upload and profile-editing screens require a Dailymotion account, so check the final public page after saving.
- Moderation risk: Thin uploads or profiles created only to carry links can look spammy and may be removed or ignored.
