I am developing an Affiliate Marketing Website using Wordpress. As per the SEO Policies, we have put rel="nofollow" to all the affiliate links on my site.
However, there is an Amazon Search Widget which is placed as a Plugin on my site. It contains some Affiliate Links to Amazon. Also, it is placed in an IFRAME.
All I wanted to know is that..does google crawl IFRAMES ?? If yes, will google penalise my website ranking if I do not add a rel="nofollow" Tag in the IFRAME that contains the affiliate links ?
If yes, please advice how do I put a rel="nofollow" tag inside javascript.

I believe in the old days iframes where pretty much ignored by google however, I have read that they now do indeed see the contents. However they also understand the content is not yours so any SEO value is past onto the originator of the content, after all they know where the content is being sourced from via the src on the iframe.
It's only my belief as I have not tested it but I have seen in a couple of videos that a iframe neither helps or harms you as far as SEO is concerned.
If however you really want to add a nofollow to the iframe then what you need to do is create a new page with just the iframe on it then add in the meta tags <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
Once done add a iframe on your normal page which points to the new page with the iframe on it.
It's a little long winded but that should work.

I have a custom post type which has excerpts showing on a page. If I program the ability for the continue link to link an external URL, should I have a no-follow in my page meta for that post since the post will be empty of content?
rel="nofollow".
Use the nofollow value when other values don't apply,
and you'd rather Google not associate your site with, or crawl the
linked page from, your site. (For links within your own site, use
robots.txt, as described below.).
Links marked with these rel attributes will generally not be followed.
Remember that the linked pages may be found through other means, such
as sitemaps or links from other sites, and thus they may still be
crawled. These rel attributes are used only in tags (because
Google can follow only links pointed to by an tag), except
nofollow, which is also available as robots meta tag.

If you can control the content or trust the content at the end of the link, you don't need to add rel="nofollow". A case where you would want to use rel="nofollow" would be links from comments on a website.
I am not sure why this is happening. But, When i try to post Link Omitted on the company's facebook page, the thumbnails aren't loaded by the facebook. Whereas if I try to post some earlier link from my website, like Link Omitted, all the pics from that page are loaded.
Can someone tell why this happens...Also, sometimes, facebook doesn't load all the images from page.
You rely on how Facebook scrapping your page content which isn't a best way to achieve what you want. The reason you see image for older links is probably caching.
To ensure you have images with posting your content on Facebook you should add og:image OpenGraph meta tags.
For more info on this read OpenGraph documentation and use Facebook Debug tool to check if you have any issues with scrapping and/or all details scrapped correctly.
I want to embed an existing blog into my website (e.g. www.site.com/blog/index.php into www.site.com/blog.php ) but I'm wondering if simply using an iFrame is sustainable - I read somewhere it's being phased out..?
Well you could try to put this in your www.site.com/blog.php
<iframe src="www.site.com/blog/index.php"></iframe>
A better way would be modify the blog's header and navigation to match your website's navigation. iFrames kill SEO and your blog will have a hard time getting into Google results.

I just searched plenty of sites which was telling how to use lightbox to open other pages.. but its not fully workable. I am a newbie in coding. Is there any other way to open such kind of things?
Try using a plug-in like gallery,light box, that will open URLs (as well as images) into a shadow box within your site
Is there a way to hack a Tumblr theme to put a Google Analytics _trackEventI() function on the Tumblr Follow button? This would allow users to analyze where people are coming from when they click follow, what pages they clicked follow on, demographics of people who followed, etc.
If you control the code that displays it, or if the code is iframed onto your site but the iframe content is hosted on your domain then yes, it is possible. But if it is iframed onto your page and the iframed content is not on your domain then no, you cannot add tracking to it.
