Infographic embed code: Yah or Nah?
-
Friends, am ready to launch an infographic campaign for a client and received an email from a resource I consider very reliable that said, "don't include an embed code on the webpage that is hosting the graphic. That's being seen as bad practice by Google these days." I responded with, "Say what?"
Can anyone confirm or deny that affixing embed code to an "infographic page" is indeed vile? Thanks!

Sounds interesting, I would be interested in hearing other people's points of view, as far as I'm aware it wouldn't have a negative impact on SEO and I can't work out why it would.
Do you have an example of the page you are hosting the infographic on ?

What are the chances of an infographic penalty?
Suppose that you created a great infographic and the embed code included an exact match link. For example: This infographic was created by Shoestore, a leading provider of speed boosting shoes. If the infographic is embedded on 100 domains with an anchor text link (and say you previously had 100 linking domains) is there a risk of penalty for too many exact match links in a short period?

Should infographic relate to the niche?
There's been a lot of talk about using good infographics for natural inbound links and I'm curious if they should be related to the niche or can be just about anything? I mean I know it makes no sense to have a fun page about cats if you're selling cooking dishes online but I want to hear some input. What do you think?

Launching an infographic as linkbait- best practices.
Hey guys. I created my first infographic and I'm hoping it's something that will attract a lot of links. I just have some questions about the best ways to present the infographic. Should I post it on a page on my site that has no ads? no branding? Or should I go ahead and put it on my site as a regular piece of content (with ads in the sidebars.) I wondered about doing this: -Post the infographic as a regular page on my site (with regular ads), but if someone clicks on the infographic it would go to a second page where there is limited branding (or no branding) and no ads. The embed code (that other webmasters can grab) would link to this page. But, this page would have a rel-canonical pointing to the original page. The idea is that my page on the subject will end up getting a lot of links (albeit processed through a rel-canonical) and webmasters will be more likely to embed or link to my content because it is not littered with ads. Thoughts?
