Backlink signals
Editorial estimates for comparing this provider.
- Dofollow links Usually nofollow
- No : We set this after checking whether the recommended backlink method on this provider typically outputs a dofollow link in the page HTML. If attributes vary by page type, we use the realistic default for that path and explain the nuance in the guide.
- Authority rating Editorial estimate
- 18/100 : We score the actual backlink surface—not the provider homepage—using Domain Authority when available, otherwise a conservative Backlink Badger editorial estimate. This approximate comparison number may not match third-party tools or the live page's real strength.
- Spam rating Lower is better
- 3/100 : We use spam score when we have a defensible value for the relevant domain or surface, otherwise a conservative Backlink Badger editorial estimate from platform quality and spam patterns. Treat it as an approximate comparison guide, not a guarantee of how search engines evaluate the site.
- Acquisition difficulty Lower is easier
- 25/100 : Backlink Badger assigns this 0–100 score from editorial review of signup friction, content requirements, approval gates, and account trust for the recommended path. It is an approximate comparison estimate, not a measured difficulty metric.
- Time estimate Typical setup
- ~20 min : We estimate the minimum minutes a prepared user needs to sign up, set up, and publish or submit the backlink, including obvious waiting steps we can reasonably predict. This Backlink Badger estimate is approximate—your first attempt or extra verification may take longer.
- Free option No required spend
- Yes : We mark Yes when the recommended backlink path can be completed without paying the provider for access, placement, or a required plan. If only paid tiers unlock the link, or payment is commonly required in practice, we mark No.

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.
The public AppsDevPro profile showed a website link and social links, all rendered with rel="noopener nofollow" in the browser DOM.
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.
Provider overview

Minimum requirements to get a backlink from Dailymotion
- Dailymotion account
- Public profile or video
- Relevant destination URL
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.
