          We have our JS tag and iframe tag being used over by 100 leading websites. What would be the SEO impact if we added a follow link in the iframe. Would it have any negative impact ?

            <a class="zippy index13 goog-zippy-expanded" tabindex="0" name="10"></a>Anatomy of pre-fetch tags

            **https://ad.doubleclick.net**: These parameters are the same as in standard tags.

            **ddm: **This is a new parameter that distinguishes DCM tags from the legacy product (DFA). It makes no difference to how you export or implement your tags. Learn more

            **pfadx**: Lets the ad server know that this is a pre-fetch (pf) tag and an ad command for XML (adx).

            _Nxxxx.site-keyname/Byyyyyy_;kw=[keyword];ord=[timestamp];dc_lat=_N_;dc_rdid=_Czzzz_;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=_I_: These parameters are the same as in standard tags.

            **sz=_widthxheight_: **Dimensions of the placement, in pixels. (The value of the sz parameter is always 0x0 for VAST placements.)

            **dcmt=_text/xml_**: MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, which tell the browser what type of content you're sending. In this case, the MIME type is text/xml, which means that the content being sent is text in the form of XML code.

            **dc_vast=3**: Formats the tag to be compliant with VAST 3.0 specifications.

            theoretically you could pass a regular tag through there as well so hopefully that is of some help

              No, I know that you're not trying to do anything malicious however unfortunately

              it will not pass  juice unless you rig it to do something completely black hat

              Here are examples of what 00 tags are being considered by antivirus and malware services you really should be able to pass this with a regular redirect, not anything that is hidden in a clear photo

                I have my JS tag ( which loads a 0X0 iframe also) is over 100 sites. If I add a follow link in the iframe, will it help in building my domain authority.

                  I don't disagree with you about Dom or Google successfully crawling Java/Ajax the issue is the I-frame's I do not believe that the current time they are an ideal situation. It may be possible I think the future has Java written all over it but if I were going to bed on it I would not use I-frames.

                  Great article I wish it covered the I-frame itself

                  Google can crawl pretty much but it wants but does it advise you to here is the answer

                          I wish I had the ability to be in for a computer and give you a more complete answer but using I-frames and hoping Google will index them is a recipe for disaster.

                            Lightboxes and SEO

                            Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

                            If I nofollow outbound external links to minimize link juice loss > is it a good/bad thing?

                            OK, imagine you have a blog, and you want to make each blog post authoritative so you link out to authority relevant websites for reference. In this case it is two external links per blog post, one to an authority website for reference and one to flickr for photo credit. And one internal link to another part of the website like the buy-now page or a related internal blog post. Now tell me if this is a good or bad idea. What if you nofollow the external links and leave the internal link untouched so all internal links are dofollow. The thinking is this minimizes loss of link juice from external links and keeps it flowing through internal links to pages within the website. Would it be a good idea to lay off the nofollow tag and leave all as do follow? or would this be a good way to link out to authority sites but keep the link juice internal? Your thoughts are welcome. Thanks.

                            Should I use **tags or h1/h2 tags for article titles on my homepage**

                            I recently had an seo consultant recommend using tags instead of h1/h2 tags for article titles on the homepage of my news website and category landing pages. I've only seen this done a handful of times on news/editorial websites. For example: http://www.muscleandfitness.com/ Can anyone weigh in on this?

                            H3 Tags - Should I Link to my content Articles- ? And do I have to many H3 tags/ Links as it is ?

                            Hello All, On my ecommerce landing pages, I currently have links to my products as H3 Tags. I also have useful guides displayed on the page with links useful articles we have written (they currently go to my news section). I am wondering if I should put those article links as additional H3 tags as well for added seo benefit  or do I have to many tags as it is ?. A link to my Landing Page I am talking about is - http://goo.gl/h838RW Screenshot of my h1-h6 tags - http://imgur.com/hLtX0n7 I enclose screenshot my guides and also of my H1-H6 tags. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks Peter

                            SEO Advice for Angular JS

                            We are changing our homepage (and gradually the rest of the site) to Angular JS.
                            In order not to lose anything in terms of SEO we are implementing Hashbangs + escaped fragment snapshots. Are there any other SEO considerations you think we should have and/or additional elements that we could add to the page to improve it in terms of SEO?

                            How much does dirty html/css etc impact SEO?

                            Good Morning! I have been trying to clean up this website and  half the time I can't even edit our content without breaking the WYSIWYG Editor. Which leads me to the next question. How much, if at all, is this impacting our SEO. To my knowledge this isn't directly causing any broken pages for the viewer, but still, it certainly concerns me. I found this post on Moz from last year: http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/community/q/how-much-impact-does-bad-html-coding-really-have-on-seo We have a slightly different set of code problems but still wanted to revisit this question and see if anything has changed. I also can't imagine that all this broken/extra code is helping our page load properly. Thanks everybody!

                            Hi, Was speaking to a client today and got asked how damaging two way links are. i.e. domaina.com links to domainb.com and domainb.com links back to domaina.com. I need a nice simple layman's explanation of if/how damaging they are compared to one way links. And please don't answer with you lose link juice as I have a job explaining link juice.... I am explaining things to a non techie! Thank you!!
