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.
You might also find this article interesting in relation to this -

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.

Will feeding a blog through a widget onto a wix site help rankings?
I have a client I am writing blog content for, however his site was recently redesigned on wix html5. They offer no native blog. I have used a widget to embed blog from another site, however does this help seo in any way? When people share on social media, etc., it is linking the embedded page, not the clients site, right? So it would not be giving any link juice to site. It also doesn't help for organic search of content if it is embedded, is that right? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to overcome this issue. Would creating a "faux" blog on the Wix site work (as in multiple pages that I would then categorize and link to each other to navigate like a blog myself)? Wix looks like it has page length maximums too, so I'm not sure how I would get around that. It is also clunky to share on social media without a "share" button for viewer, but perhaps I am mistaken. Is that a ridiculous solution? What have other people done to deal with this issue and get better rankings with Wix platform? Thanks in advance for any input! I'm feeling a little frustrated with what to do.

Linkspamming through references widget?
Dear Mozzers, I have a question concerning a references widget. Im not sure if this should be seen as linkspamming. The reason im asking this is when i check out some linkdata one referring site pops up 100's of times because they've put a widget on their site showing clients they worked with in slideshow form. How is this handled by Google. Do they consider this spamming or do they just see this as one link? Im just curious how damaging this could be or how beneficial and what to hold in mind regarding these situations. Thx! Sander

Iframes vs links
Obviously, websites can link to another web site using iframes, and Google and other search engines do seem to have some capability to index the content. What I want to know is what is the difference in value passed between a regular link and an iframe link. <iframe src="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink"><br /><br />will have the same page ranking effect on the target web site as this link: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink">link</a><br /><br />Alternative, would it work to include an invisible actual link right before the iframe, like this: <br /><br /><a style="display: none;" href="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink">link</a><br /><iframe src="http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink"/></p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">The reason is that we are building a product recommendation engine, for a branded cosmetology school in order to get our concept salons to link back to use and I was curious if creating a version they can use as an iframe will give us link benefit.</span></p></iframe>

Can link juice be passed in an iframe from domain A to domain B
Need to give our web partners our booking form which must be loaded in an iframe calling back to our domain. Is it possible to pass any link juice from their domain loading our iframe back to us. Was thinking of a "Powered by" text link in the form footer, but I'm guessing the link needs to be outside the iframe. Would love to hear any thoughts or workarounds on this.
