    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.

                      Hi mozzers, We just redesigned our homepage and discovered that our main nav is using JS and when disabling JS, no main nav links was showing up. Is this still considered bad practice for SEO? https://cl.ly/14ccf2509478 thanks

                      How Many Links to Disavow at Once When Link Profile is Very Spammy?

                      We are using link detox (Link Research Tools) to evaluate our domain for bad links. We ran a Domain-wide Link Detox Risk report. The reports showed a "High Domain DETOX RISK" with the following results: -42% (292) of backlinks with a high or above average detox risk
                      -8% (52) of backlinks with an average of below above average detox risk
                      -12% (81) of backlinks with a low or very low detox risk
                      -38% (264) of backlinks were reported as disavowed. This look like a pretty bad link profile. Additionally, more than 500 of the 689 backlinks are "404 Not Found", "403 Forbidden", "410 Gone", "503 Service Unavailable". Is it safe to disavow these? Could Google be penalizing us for them> I would like to disavow the bad links, however my concern is that there are so few good links that removing bad links will kill link juice and really damage our ranking and traffic. The site still  ranks for terms that are not very competitive. We receive about 230 organic visits a week. Assuming we need to disavow about 292 links, would it be safer to disavow 25 per month while we are building new links so we do not radically shift the link profile all at once? Also, many of the bad links are 404 errors or page not found errors. Would it be OK to run a disavow of these all at once? Any risk to that? Would we be better just to build links and leave the bad links ups? Alternatively, would disavowing the bad links potentially help our traffic? It just seems risky because the overwhelming majority of links are bad.

                      SEO friendly H1 tag with 2 text lines

                      Hi everyone, I am trying to add span tags in H1, break tag on 2 lines and style each line of H1 differently: Example: Line 1Line 2 I might add a smaller font for line 2 as well... Is this SEO friendly? Will crawlers read entire text or can interfere and block it. Thank you!

                      Hello, I use to move up my site structure with links in content. I have now installed breadcrumbs, is it is useful to still keep the links in content or isn't there a need to duplicate those links ? and are the breadcrumbs links enough. Thank you,

                      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://moz.com/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!

                      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

                      Do I need to use rel="canonical" on pages with no external links?

                      I know having rel="canonical" for each page on my website is not a bad practice... but how necessary is it for pages that don't have any external links pointing to them? I have my own opinions on this, to be fair - but I'd love to get a consensus before I start trying to customize which URLs have/don't have it included. Thank you.
