    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" data-tracking-impression=""></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

            http://searchengineland.com/tested-googlebot-crawls-javascript-heres-learned-220157

            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.

                      Top hierarchy pages vs footer links vs header links

                      Hi All, We want to change some of the linking structure on our website. I think we are repeating some non-important pages at footer menu. So I want to move them as second hierarchy level pages and bring some important pages at footer menu. But I have confusion which pages will get more influence: Top menu or bottom menu or normal pages? What is the best place to link non-important pages; so the link juice will not get diluted by passing through these. And what is the right place for "keyword-pages" which must influence our rankings for such keywords? Again one thing to notice here is we cannot highlight pages which are created in keyword perspective in top menu. Thanks

                      CDN for SEO (or not)?

                      Does CDN impact on SEO or not? There seems conflicting ideas as to whether they impact positively or negatively, I realise that if the page loads quicker this is a good thing for SEO and usability of course. Does Google see CDN as just cheating and a get-around for not doing the work from the ground up and using good hosting etc? Do you have any direct experience? All constructive input much appreciated!

                      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

                      Link Juice + multiple links pointing to the same page

                      Scenario
                      The website has a menu consisting of 4 links Home | Shoes | About Us | Contact Us Additionally within the body content we write about various shoe types. We create a link with the anchor text "Shoes" pointing to www.mydomain.co.uk/shoes In this simple example, we have 2 instances of the same link pointing to the same url location.
                      We have 4 unique links.
                      In total we have 5 on page links. Question
                      How many links would Google count as part of the link juice model?
                      How would the link juice be weighted in terms of percentages?
                      If changing the anchor text in the body content to say "fashion shoes" have a different impact? Any other advise or best practice would be appreciated. Thanks Mark

                      Link Research Tools - Detox Links

                      Hi, I was doing a little research on my link profile and came across a tool called "LinkRessearchTools.com". I bought a subscription and tried them out. Doing the report they advised a low risk but identified 78 Very High Risk to Deadly (are they venomous?) links, around 5% of total and advised removing them. They also advised of many suspicious and low risk links but these seem to be because they have no knowledge of them so default to a negative it seems. So before I do anything rash and start removing my Deadly links, I was wondering if anyone had a). used them and recommend them b). recommend detoxing removing the deadly links c). would there be any cases in which so called Deadly links being removed cause more problems than solve. Such as maintaining a normal looking profile as everyone would be likely to have bad links etc... (although my thinking may be out on that one...). What do you think? Adam
