      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.

          You can totally get some juice! Just not through the iframe code. Example:

          <iframe><br />blah blah code booking blah code<br /></iframe>
          booking provided by cool dude, craig spencer

          Just give that code to your partners. Some will remove the link, but other will leave it. How do you think AddThis got to be a PR10?

            Tks Roger,

            I'm not a developer so sorry if this sounds stupid but instead of using an iframe, is it possible to push the booking form via a widget or api of some sort that allows the form and link to be followed by bots.

              Nope. iFrame is a link juice free zone.

                Thanks for the reply Aaron but I'd prefer not to allow our partners access to modify the link if possible.

                  You're correct in thinking no link juice can be passed through an iframe. You could however have a link immediately before or after it in the method you mentioned, and then give your partners the whole HTML including that link.

                  Hope that helps!

                  Aaron

                    How do we optimise links from a parent company to a subsidiary on different domains

                    So we are the agent for an industrial company. They don't have a great website (well its pretty but doesn't rank) and have 5 product pages with a variety of products on each. We've taken those products and turned them into 50 pages with good on page optimisation. Now they've just agreed to give us a link on each page and I'm trying to figure out what the best text and link will be. As far as I can see there are three options Visit our agent for X region - sending to the home page If you are from X region you can request a sample of product group from our agent - sending to home page and product category page on our site If you are looking for X, Y, Z or P, Q, R in this region contact our agent there. - sending to home page and individual product pages The aim of this is to boost my page authority as 98% of the top 10 in SERPS have pages with zero authority and rely on the on page optimization and DA. Is this the best approach or are there other better ways of approaching the problem. It's worth noting that there is a total separation of control and ownership of the websites. I'm also starting to work with them to improve their on page optimisation and get links from their parent company to increase link juice

                    Toxic Link Removal-Better to Pay an SEO Firm or Can I Do It Myself?

                    Hi Jen: Recently an SEO audit from a reputable SEO firm identified almost 50% of the incoming links to my site as toxic, 40% suspicious and 5% of good quality. They are of the opinion that it is imperative to remove the toxic domains. The fee for toxic link removal is about $3,000.I would prefer to save the $3,000 but would prefer not to take the risk of screwing up my ranking if this is a complex procedure best left to SEO professionals. My assumption is that link removal will involve  identifying the toxic domains, requesting removal and eventually submitting a Google disavow request. Can I do this myself or is there a big risk of screwing it up? Assuming it is safe for me to remove toxic links, would anyone suggest  software of tools for doing so? Thanks so much.
                    Alan

                    Text Link vs image link?

                    Which passes most link juice a text link or an image with the correct 'alt' attribute? Do the pass the same amount or is one more valuable than the other?

                    I have multiple domains (more than 50) in the same niche. All domains are on the same ip. It is ok to link them together, or to create a piramid link between them?

                    I remember hearing in one of the link building webinars that if you hold a patent then you could get a link from that somehow.

                    Any examples or suggestions as to how this is done?

                    Can indirect linking be valuable?

                    I have a client who is using a SEO company (Hubshout, delete name if necessary) to boost traffic to their website. They are doing this by publishing articles and submitting them to article directories, then they use their own sites/blogs (which are valueless, PR and MozRank of zero) to point to these articles and they say that this helps boost there rankings. How? They are not linking to the clients websites, creating artificial links from their own websites to article directories instead of the clients website. Are they trying to boost the value of the article or trying to boost their own websites? How does this help out the client? It is similar to three way linking but is not.

                    I have a few domains that I'm going to use for link building, will the link juice from the sub domains transfer to the main domain?
