Iframed data on external sites
-
Hi all,
I am looking to create som widgets for external sites with some of my data, off course with links to my site.
But if i make a php file with some content, and another site iframes that php file, would I get link juice from this?
If not, any suggestions to how i could get my data on to another site AND get the juice?

As long as you are not building it to target exact match anchor text, I would be cool with the idea. Just a lot of times people build these widgets to get specific anchor text. Especially since those links most likely go site wide, can be a major no no

Sean: I think a whole lot. We collect news on sport and make it easy for our users to get the quick overview without visiting 10+ sites. By making widgets for external sites with links to news about a single team or sport, this would be of good value for the site receiving the widget. We then get a link at the bottom of the widget "Provided by Holdnyt.dk" for instance. Or "More news about [team-name]".
It would be okay link building i would say - and also give some clicks.
Or what do you think?

What is your website built on and what are your targeted sites built on? I would just build a wordpress widget that can pull in whatever data you want. Than you can style and do whatever you want to get anchor text/links. But in all honesty, how much value is this really going to send back to your site?

Hi Rasmus,
Because the content in the iframe is hosted on your site the content within this frame will also be assigned to your site by search engines. So in fact you are linking to yourself.
I don't really know what the best solution would be to be honest. Maybe you can create some kind of feed that others can integrate on their site. Or create a WordPress plugin?
Good luck!

External links cannot be found
HI, we have a relatively new website, and we know that there are a couple of external links to this site. But in Moz and in KWfinder, it says that there are no backlinks. We do not use robot.txt or noindex, and we have no clue how to make crawlers find the external links so that our DA will be enhanced. Anyone a solution? Marielle

At a Loss With What to do With This Site
Hi people, a friend of mine runs a payday loan site with a very valuable domain name: http://bit.ly/1lyJgME The site was penalised by Google about 18 months ago, up until then it ranked #1 for payday loan and on the 1st page for the plural, payday loans in the UK. Now the website is nowhere in the top 200 results for either of the phrases, but he has not received any notification from Google and if he checks in webmaster tools in the manual actions section there is nothing there. He has gone through all of the links to his site several times and attempted to remove any unnatural links, those that he could not get rid of after emailing twice he disavowed - about 800, a lot were not even built by him. He has sent 2-3 reconsideration requests to Google and every time they said that the site had not been penalised, or something to that affect. The site does have lots of quality organic links from websites like Wired Magazine and the National Geographic, more then enough decent links to rank somewhere on Google for its keywords. I feel that the site may have been held to a higher standard because a lot of people think that payday loan websites are unethical. What do you think he should do? Can you spot anything on site that is wrong? He has definitely tried to remove every single unnatural link and the ones he could not he disavowed.

What is a healthy ratio of keywords being used as anchor text in external links to our site?
Hi, One keyword is being used as anchor text in way more external links to our site than any others and I'm getting a lot of mixed advice whether or not to do anything about it. The agency we previously used had managed to remove about 1500 links (out of 6000) however our rank for that search term is still very poor. **We have 4500 external links with the anchor text "ABC" and the next highest amount of external link anchor text is the term "XYZ" which has about 400 links. That is over 10 to 1. What is a healthy ratio of anchor text between different search terms to aim for? ** Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Site wide back links
Hi, One of our sites has a site-wide link from another site. So, Google sees 6700 pages from that site link to one of our pages. Is that something to be concerned about? The other site is http://www.daum.net/ We also have 2000 pages that blogspot.com links to us from. Both these sites have high domain authority, so I would hope all those links score well. But I certainly don't want to be penalized for links that appear spammy. Thank you in advance.

When does Google Webmaster update your links to site??
Hi everyone We removed a load of links from a site over 2 months ago but they still show in Google webmaster tools. I understand Google will not be reading this links as they were removed so long ago. However I just was interested when Google might update these as not showing as linking to us anymore. I like to try and keep things tidy and its a bit frustrating it would be good to be 100% sure what Google is counting at any given time. Cheers James

Guest Posts on Sites With Irrelevant Outbound Links
Suppose you came across a website in your niche with solid domain authority that accepts guest posts. However you notice some of the guest posts are linking out to somewhat off-topic sites. If you already have an article that you think would be accepted easily and all you have to do is spend 10 minutes to craft an email pitch, would you do it? Why?

Backlinks from PR sites not showing in Open Site Explorer
Hi, Over the last year I have used a range of different PR sites to post news articles that link back to various pages on my site. However, barely any show up as link backs on Open Site Explorer, neither follow nor nofollow links. Can anyone explain why this is and whether or not the dofollow links count towards SEO if they are not picked up by OSE?
