Can Google read widgets?

My website offers for my users a code like <iframe></iframe> that will generate a wiged on my users websites with a link inside .

Will google read the link back to my website, even if the widged content(including the link) is readed from my server (like youtube embeded code)?

Thank you.

Not always .. but they will find it out !!

 

Thanks. I hope so...even I know google reads only the source code. Hope this is not always true.

 

Put your link outside of the iframe code. So you would have something like this:

<div style='text-align:center;'><iframe></iframe><br>Text</div>

This will result in you getting the backlink onto their page which is where it counts. Not sure about Google/Yahoo's policies on this but that would accomplish what you are asking about.
