Hello all,
Came across this forum a couple of weeks ago and have found it to be a great source of valuable information and advice. I wish however that I had found it sooner as I had recently purchased a "website in a can" of which it's pages (except the homepage) are framed. Reading some recent threads in this forum, I've since found out how these pages are not compatible with good search engine positioning and link exchanges. It sounded like a great affordable offer at the time which fit perfectly into my budget, but now I have to chalk that poor decision to a newbie mistake. I had already started a reciprocal link exchange with other related websites from one of these framed pages which I just found out are worthless to those I exchanged links with. I've since added those links to my homepage which appears to be indexed in Google and is not framed. It doesn't look good, but for now it will have to do until I can come up with another solution.
I look forward to participating on this board and will try and contribute wherever I can however I think I'll benefit much more from others on this board that they will benefit from my limited knowledge.
