Hi all,

I have a news ticker widget implemented by iframes, so that when user pastes iframe code into his website news is shown. Now I want to know is:

1) Is it worth to include "Powered by MySite" link in the iframe section. Or should I ask the copying webmaster to include my link into his website.

2) Also does only the following code:

<iframe src='mytestwebsite.com/newswidget.aspx?op1=2&op2=3..etc></iframe>

Adds some SEO value to the domain: mytestwebsite.com (i.e. without a proper link back, only the link to newswdiget exist in iframe's src attribute)

Kindly help, and thanks in advance ...

I'd get rid of the iframes and build a new widget. Within that new widget I'd include a keyword rich text link back to my site. And implement code so the link/text either changes every X amount of users that download it or build in the ability for you to change the link/text on the fly.
