    If script is placed onto a page which pulls in a link from an external source and drops it into the page DOM does this link behave as if it were in the html?

    Anyone know please?

    Some clarification on what I was trying to ask. If client script manipulates the DOM (document object model) does this carry any weight for SEO? For example if script inserts an external link directly into the DOM do the search engines know about this?

    Is your website the one that the script will be inserting links directly into? If so then no that will not really help your site out for SEO purposes. Can you show me an example so I can try and better answer your question?

    No. This has to be done with Javascript. Search engines wont see this link.

    My website is the one that generates the script for others to use. Please have a look here. So search engines won't see any of these links? Is it possible to write javascript so that the search engines will?

    If a site uses my widget to display ad links, should these links use the rel="nofollow" tag? I'm guessing it does not matter since the search engines will not see these links ... Any thoughts please.
