Links in your Content
Content shared on YouTube, including links, needs to follow our Community Guidelines. As a creator, it’s your responsibility to make sure the links you include in your content follow our policies.
External websites you link to that include pornography, malware, or other content that doesn’t meet our Community Guidelines are not allowed on YouTube. Violations can result in your links being removed, a Community Guidelines strike, and/or termination of your YouTube account.
If a strike is issued, you'll get an email and see an alert in your Channel Settings the next time you sign in to YouTube. You can appeal the strike if you think your links don’t violate the YouTube Community Guidelines.
Best practices for links
Any site you link to in your content and channel(s) needs to follow our Community Guidelines. It also helps to make the site crawlable so we can learn more about it. Find out how to make a page crawlable here.
What should I do if I get a strike for links?
- Remove links if you believe they may violate YouTube Community Guidelines. You can edit the video that has the flagged link in Video Manager.
Note: Removing the link will not remove the strike. - If you own the website you’re linking to, consider updating the website content so it follows our Community Guidelines.
- If you believe your link doesn’t violate our Community Guidelines, you can appeal.
