Infographic embed code: Yah or Nah?
-
Friends, am ready to launch an infographic campaign for a client and received an email from a resource I consider very reliable that said, "don't include an embed code on the webpage that is hosting the graphic. That's being seen as bad practice by Google these days." I responded with, "Say what?"
Can anyone confirm or deny that affixing embed code to an "infographic page" is indeed vile? Thanks!

Sounds interesting, I would be interested in hearing other people's points of view, as far as I'm aware it wouldn't have a negative impact on SEO and I can't work out why it would.
Do you have an example of the page you are hosting the infographic on ?

Implementing calculator to attract embed links
Hi all, New to SEO Moz and this is my first question... I have a site that I am writing a 'widget' calculator for with the idea that the user can embed the results of the calculation on their website / blog. I currently convert the calculation html to an image and save it on the server and then also display the code for them to embed the image (including a text link back to my site). In order to try and get as many people to embed the results on their site I am not asking them to login / register on the site before they get access to the embed code. Is no login / registration the correct way to go? It means I won't be able to track if people have copied the image without including the text link. Is saving the output as an image the best way to enable the user to embed the content on their site and provide me with a link? The only alternative I can think of is to give them the html in an IFRAME code to embed it but the IFRAME would have to rank to pass on on the link back to our site. As well as giving an embed option I am also giving a 'link to these results' option in the format:

http://mydomain.com/calculator/result.aspx?ID=20 I am doing this with the result ID in the querystring) so that instead of having (hopefully) hundreds of links each pointing to a page with one incoming link I would have one page with hundreds of links pointing at it and use a canonical tag to state that all these different results should be indexed as
/calculator/result.aspx Does this sound like the best way to do it? Is it ok to use the canonical tag even though the results / page content will be different for each querystring variation? cheers.1 -

Looking for Excellent Infographic Designers
I'm looking for recommendations for excellent infographic designers. They can be located anywhere, charge hourly or project based...as long as they are fluent in writing English, can show some examples of past work, and charge a reasonable rate, that's all we need. I've looked at Elance and Odesk and Craig's List, but what I really want is a recommendation from someone who has actually used the designer they're recommending and had a great experience. A designer who can do the research and ideation in addition to the actual design would be ideal.
