Search Engines Glossary: Frames
An HTML technique for combining two or more separate HTML documents within a single web browser screen.
Compound interacting documents can be created to make a more effective web page presented in multiple windows or sub-windows.
A framed web site often causes great problems for search engines, and may not be indexed correctly. Search engines will often index only the part of a framed site within the (NOFRAMES) section, so make sure that the (NOFRAMES) section includes relevant text which can be indexed by the spiders.
If your site uses frames, consider providing a gateway page or adding navigational links within the framed pages.
Submit the main page - the one containing the (FRAMESET) tag to the search engines. If you use a gateway page, submit this separately.
