Infographic embed code: Yah or Nah?

[Wayne76]

Friends, am ready to launch an infographic campaign for a client and received an email from a resource I consider very reliable that said, "don't include an embed code on the webpage that is hosting the graphic. That's being seen as bad practice by Google these days." I responded with, "Say what?"

Can anyone confirm or deny that affixing embed code to an "infographic page" is indeed vile? Thanks!

Sounds interesting, I would be interested in hearing other people's points of view, as far as I'm aware it wouldn't have a negative impact on SEO and I can't work out why it would.

Do you have an example of the page you are hosting the infographic on ?
