You Tube backlinks not picked up?

Wonder if anybody can help me, can anyone tell me why backlinks to my site from videos I posted on YouTube are not being picked up? When I use backlink tools such as Yahoo's Site Explorer or www.backlinkwatch.com they don't show up, but YouTube backlinks do show up for a competitors site.

Is there something I'm doing incorrectly when inserting my URL in my YouTube videos?
Thanks

I think it's not enough that you only put a link of your site. Securing other video attributes like the title, description and tags would definitely help for your video to stand out.

because link counting is the third most useless thing you can be doing.

Assuming that Google actually placed any value at all on the self placed links at YouTube of course

Well youtubes pretty much a waste of time now, upload the same vid and description to 5 video sites and youtube one has the weakest serps, may get the most views, but nearly always the lowest serps on google.

Most of the backlink checker site things only show you up to 1000 backlinks. Most of youtube is nofollow. I think on your member profile page where you enter your website I believe this is dofollow unless they have changed that. Most external links are nofollow there though.
