Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?
-
I'm dipping my toes into infographic design.
On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic.
I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post.
Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic? I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value.
If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?
-
Yup, I would do it exactly like kieran says. Make sure to have some anchor text variation though, so that the "scheme" looks more natural and not like it's bought or something.

excellent advice guys. most appreciated!

Ask for a link in exchange for allowing websites to embed your graphic.
Check out Creative Commons licenses and pick the one that works best for you at the following link, and make sure the websites are made aware of the license:
Make the link modest so that the websites don't mind keeping it. Also consider asking that the image links to your website instead of a caption text, or give the website an option to do either.
Crawl your infographic or widget with a GoogleBot simulator if you aren't sure if Google will pick up the link. Although, you shouldn't have a problem doing what I described.
You can hide a link behind the image, but you really shouldn't be trying to hide links. Just stick with my advice and you should be golden.
Good question! Cheers.

If you create the embed code with your link back to the site then you will get the juice. You cant actually put a link in a graphic as far as I know (yet!) so make sure the Widget code is attractively titled as well so people will actually like to use it along the lines (not saying this is the way to go by the way)

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

Changing links
Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links. I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google? I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products. Any advice much appreciated.

Can link juice be passed in an iframe from domain A to domain B
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.
