How to get SEO juice from a widget iframe?
-
Looking at building a widget for my site, Babyhuddle. We're looking at using iframes for the widget and I'm concerned that this means I won't be able to get any SEO juice out of each widgets that are implemented on users' blogs. Any recommendations on how we can get SEO juice out of widgets in iframes?

Here's some more info on Iframes and Google from Barry Schwartz http://www.seroundtable.com/google-iframe-link-14558.html

e.g.
<iframe src="widget.htm"></iframe>

Yer just code it so a html link sites outsite

I see. Have you thought about using canonical URL?
-
No we're definitely up to alternative ideas. I'll have a look at DotMailer.
-
What I did is include a line in the embed code that follows the widget with "provided by a href=...". Sure, some people take the link out but most use it. Anything that you link to from within the iframe will look like an internal link to Google so it likely won't help much for SEO purposes

Is the iFrame definitely the way you want to go with this or are you open to alternative ideas?
DotMailer provide a widget for users to embed a newsletter sign up form on their website. Beneath the widget there is a link pointing back to dotmailer. This doesn't use an iFrame. Maybe look into this.

Questionable SEO
Chess Telecom appears first when you search for 'business phone lines' in the UK so I used a campaign to check them out. It seems they've got tons of unrelated links and using comment spamming to increase their ranking. Along with fake twitter accounts and other things. Search for 'jewel jubic chess' and you'll see what i mean. I assumed this wasnt a good idea and been trying to get my link on relevant websites only. Any comments or suggestions? Should I simply trust that google will hopefully punish them eventually? Or should I be fighting fire with fire? Thanks Dan
