Iframe weather widget
-
We have an iframe widget that many other sites had place in their websites.
That widget is in iframe. Does it pass google juice to links we have there ?

Hi Matt, thanks!

I tend to agree with Vanessa's answer (Hi Vanessa welcome to the community),
but out of interest how many links does Google Webmaster Tools say your site has and what pages are these links pointing at? I would have a look and also compare this to what opensitexplorer.org says about your sites link profile.

I have seen much debate around this topic but it would interesting to see if your site holds a clue as to whether or not any link juice has been passed - does Google recognise any links in webmaster tools that come from pages that only contain your widget and no other link to your site?

From other threads, it seems that iframes don't pass link juice. However, many people place links after the widget code.
Here's an earlier Moz thread that might give you some answers: http://www.seomoz.org/q/how-to-get-seo-juice-from-a-widget-iframe
Hope this helps.

SEO value of a 'Most Popular Stories' widget?
Hi there, I work for a theater and live performances publishing site. We write 15-20 quality articles per day on the New York City and national theater community. We show a "Most Read" stories widget on all of our pages, but click rates for these are really low - 1% of readers click to read a story from this. As such we're considering replacing this with higher-value content. My question, however, is this: Is there any SEO value in keeping this widget? I want to make sure we're taking this aspect into consideration. Thank you!

In light of penguin - what are your thoughts on widget based link-building?
Hi all, I thought it would be interesting to see if people's perceptions of widget based link building have changed. By that I mean - Do you think it's ok to give somebody a tool to use oon their website with a reference to the creator of that tool or will that count as 'manipulative or unnatural' link building? I'll start the discussion off by saying... I think this type of link building is ok and legitimate as you are merely referencing the creator of the tool whose widget you are using on your website. My only caveat would be to ensure that the anchor text is not manipulative but relevant. Looking forward to hearing what you all think about this as I'm sure many people maybe put off by doing this.

Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?
I'm dipping my toes into infographic design. On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic. I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post. Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic? I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value. If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?
