Why are Frames Bad

When you start to wonder how come you have such a wonderful website and yet your pages are not getting indexed by the search engine, I suggest the first thing you do is check that your website is not written in frames.

It is very easy to check this and all you need to do is go to the
"View" link at the top of the browser, left click it and click "source". If you only see a few lines of code in the source that use the word "frameset" and you don't see the actual content of your web page, it means that your site is written in Frames.

Frames are bad as they don't enable the search engines to read the content of your web pages nor follow the links from one page to another. The search engines see basically what you see in the view, source mentioned above.

What can you do? Well, I suggest you go back to your programmer and tell him to write your site so it is not in frames.

Another way to check whether your website is written in frames is to look at the URL as you click from one page to another. If all your pages have the same URL it might be that your site is in Frames, though other things could cause this too. Whatever the cause this is really bad for the search engines as they cannot distinguish between, or list the various pages on your website.
