Agreed, don't go the SEO route - it's not a long-term play.


You got your javascript widget and your noscript tag. You could even stick some regular HTML with a link (possibly an image instead of text) below those. Your users will copy-paste the widget along with your link.

This is a pretty strong SEO technique. You should be doing that already. You don't need to stick unrelated links there, just link back to your Twitter-themed site.


... Which gets him more unmonetized traffic. But yeah, of course he should be doing that.

Note: I wouldn't use the noscript tag. I'd either have a div that was replaced via javascript or a small/light chunk of html below the javascript. Pretty good chance of noscript tags getting dinged by Google given how they are being used.


You're only supposed to have one NOSCRIPT tag per document
