What is an infographic? And how is it used for SEO?
-
I've heard the term used in some of the webinars hosted on SEOMOZ and tried googling the term with no results. What the heck is this? And how is it good for SEO?

Visual Economics pretty much explains it all. 97th Floor is the king of infographics if you ask me.

It's the new form of what we like to call linkbait. People love infographics, and they like to be the first to discover new ones and share them with their friends. Then everyone tweets and retweets about them, posts Facebook statuses about them, links to them from their blogs, and before you know it, it's gone viral.
http://dailyinfographic.com/ is a site with just infographics. Usually they contain a lot of related data, charts, and graphs, laid out in an eye-pleasing and engaging way, all in one gigantic image.

Informational Graphics.
Part information. Part graphics.
Examples:

They're popular. They look good. They can convey complex information in a simple visual format. And you can attach alt keyword text.

No-index tags-Can they be used in internal linking?
On my site http://villasdiani.com I am using yoast seo plugin and have I am using tags to organize category with villas on self-catering, full board etc but I have them set no-index as I believe they would create only duplicate content for the categories. Is it still ok to use this tags for internal linking? Example: I have a post in my blog which links to category Beach Villas(they are set to be indexed) and I would like to add option also for self-catering villas itself, which is a tag(set no-index) I am not sure if I am getting this right. Thank you very much, Iris
