Frame Question....

[IGotRealEstate]

Why are frames bad.. Google seems to like them?

What makes you say Google likes frames?
Most Frames = bad = no indexing = no leads

Here is an example.... I was leading the race until some buy-sell-realesate site bumped me Thanks M. Its a way of taking a specific market and getting the page for that specific keyword indexed such as a lake name, new homes etc. I use it for specific searchs in within the IDX system I use, creating a one click search instead of having to fill out a search critera.On my home page I do it for every listings within the community calling it featured listings, allowing the user to pick a city and click once pulling every active listing within that community. I do it for homes, townhomes, lakes, new construction etc. example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...es&btnG=Search

Hi Jeff,
Very interesting... The page header or contents not cached and yet there it is in the results... What say the seo gods

I understand optimizing the for the local terms..makes perfect sense, but I checked a few of your town name pages and then the framed page that pops up after the one click search and the framed pages are not indexed. Except for the header on one that I checked, so is it the framed page that google likes or the specific town page

I like the one click searches ! very nice Next step is an ftp feed from the mls and have somebidy set you up a database that the engines will see. But if your pages are showing up the heck with that

I'm very intersted to see what seo-guy has to say about this one

[IgotDreams]

I use to be very much into frames, I could display content the way I want it. For instance;

C3Studios.com

All those frame pages have rank.

But what good are they if a user visits a rogue frame, unless I include a script that realizes this and rewraps the page.

I use to not care, now that I am into SEO, I do very much care. I need the search engines to see all the content on the page. I could optimize my main frame set page, and I do. But it does not do as well as a non frames page.

Also when I see my non frames pages have been indexed, I fill that I am wasting them. I feel like going in and putting content in. It's like a personal irritation to me.
