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!

What is the difference between anchor text and external links?
I understand you 'Pro's' may fins this a silly question. But I'm a visual learner and I can't seem to grasp this. I've read the pages MOZ has provided on anchor text and external links and my question is, how are they different? And which one is more important to seo? Can someone who has a great ability to simplify things, please help me understand this. They seem very similar to me but, I know there has to be more to it. External links: External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source) **Anchor Text: **Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlinks display when linking to another document or location on the web. Thanks is advance, Lauren.

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.

How to safeguard against negative SEO for new sites?
Hi Mozers!! I have a question. The ugly tools for blog commenting etc are still out there, my question is what if your competitor notices you that you are new to the business and they start building 20,000+ backlinks to your new site, and they too with one exact match anchor text that you are targeting. I know we can disavow tool, but I guess that would be too late? What are your thoughts? What will be the solution the above case scenario?

What happens to (external) linkjuice after you redirect a page?
Hope everybody is having a good day:). I was wondering what happens to the external link juice of a page when you redirect it to a new (and improved) url? For instance www.example.com/lowvolumesword/highvolumeword/ 301 --> www.example.com/highvolumeword/ Will the /highvolumeword/ page lose a lot of (external) linkjuice? Is it best to change the external links to the new url manually or leave them as is and let the 301 redirect take care of it? Is it possible to say that no more than x% of your linkjuice will be passed through via a 301? I hope im making sense here and am looking forward to your reaction. Thanks in advance,

Any value in link building to local pages on my site?
If I'm trying to rank for the term 'wedding band' with my url: http://www.musicliveuk.com/home/wedding-bands will linking to local pages such as: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-bands/wedding-bands-london help the main page to rank? I added the 'local' pages to try and pick up any traffic from long tail search queries but my main focus is on getting the main page to rank as the traffic from long tail queries is so small. So is it worth me spending time building links to these local pages in order to try and help the main page rank?

Should you guest post on a site with no quality links?
Suppose a site is related to your industry and has a relatively good domain authority of 49. However when you look at their link profile it is mostly directories and they don't seem to have any natural links from quality sites. Would you still take the link if they offered to publish your guest post?

Multiple blogs for one site
Hello, one of my competitors built all these blogs and pointed them to their main site.. Is this white hat? http://steelbuildingsblog.org/ PR3 http://metal-church-buildings.net/ PR2 http://commercial-metal-buildings.org/ PR2 http://metalandsteelbuildings.net/ PR1 http://steel-storage-buildings.org/ PR2 http://texas-steel-buildings.net/ PR2 http://steel-metal-buildings.org/ PR3 http://metal-buildingstore.com/ PR2 http://metalagriculturalbuildings.net/ PR3 Also I am looking at my links vs. theirs and they have a much higher point score for links... But the company I am doing SEO for has most of same quality links. Can this be the reason they have an edge?
