Iframed data on external sites

[rasmusbang]

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!
