Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?
-
I'm dipping my toes into infographic design.
On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic.
I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post.
Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic? I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value.
If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?

Yup, I would do it exactly like kieran says. Make sure to have some anchor text variation though, so that the "scheme" looks more natural and not like it's bought or something.

excellent advice guys. most appreciated!

Ask for a link in exchange for allowing websites to embed your graphic.
Check out Creative Commons licenses and pick the one that works best for you at the following link, and make sure the websites are made aware of the license:
Make the link modest so that the websites don't mind keeping it. Also consider asking that the image links to your website instead of a caption text, or give the website an option to do either.
Crawl your infographic or widget with a GoogleBot simulator if you aren't sure if Google will pick up the link. Although, you shouldn't have a problem doing what I described.
You can hide a link behind the image, but you really shouldn't be trying to hide links. Just stick with my advice and you should be golden.
Good question! Cheers.

If you create the embed code with your link back to the site then you will get the juice. You cant actually put a link in a graphic as far as I know (yet!) so make sure the Widget code is attractively titled as well so people will actually like to use it along the lines (not saying this is the way to go by the way)

over the past year so around every corner I discover something new. One the
things I have found are that majority of links to the site is coming from an

Do links from the second page of an article pass link juice?
I have been writing for some sites with a high overall page rank and the articles are being viewed as quality by search engines as well. However, they usually put a link to my site at the very end of the article and then break the article down into two pages to increase ad revenue. It seems that I'm not getting much credit for that link even if the page has a high SEOmoz/PR score. I want to know if I am getting the benefit from these links. If not, how do I make sure I get the most bang, even if my link is on a second page of the article? Here is an example of what I mean: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/08/22/kanban-for-customers-how-to-increase-transparency-in-your-business/

Is there a software to help me check whether the sites that i give link to, also place my link on their site (reciprocal link)?
When i exchange links with others, i usually put their link on my site hoping that they'll do the same. Since it's impossible to check all sites whose link i have placed on my page to see if they have put a link back to me, i was wondering whether there is a kind of software to help me do that!

Hi there, i know inbound links are what hold the main value in terms of link building but if i have an inbound link from a big company such as ITV or BBC and they have put an article on their site linking back to mine, would it be beneficial if i made a comment on my site and then link back to their article or will this not really help?
