Noframes
The noframes tag was originally added to provide a way for users to see your website if their browser didn't support frames. Today that's less than 1% of internet viewers.
In modern times, the noframes section provides us a way to get our frameset web pages crawled and indexed by the search engines.
The code for the tag is shown below:
<noframes></noframes>
By W3C standard, the noframes tag is placed inside the main frameset. It will, however, work outside the closing frameset tag. The code is shown below:
<html>
<head></head>
<frameset rows="50/, 50/">
<noframes>Source page code goes here</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
Two Page System
I always follow a two page system when creating a frames website. For reasons that I'll expalin in detail in the lesson on Redirection, for every source or content page I build, I'll create an associated frameset page where the source page is the default page that appears when the page is opened.
All of the code from the source page is placed in the noframes section of its associated frameset web page. I will also place all of the links from the links page in the noframes section.
I use this system and get most of the frameset pages on a frames site indexed on the SEs. Spiders will normally index the web page that is redirected to.
Most people that build frames sites are either too lazy to do this or they don't believe it's necessary. They end up with one page ( their main frameset page) being indexed. Most are never indexed. Some will end up with their content pages being indexed, but because they are built with HTML , they are viewed as static pages. I've seen this quite often.
I'll show you how to avoid these problems in the lesson on Redirection.
Does the Two Page System work?
Go to search.yahoo.com and search frames and redirection. There is a little frames mini site that I built years ago using this method. Last I checked there were 2 frameset pages ranked in the top 5 of the search results. The mini site is: www.createafreewebsite.net/frames_template5.html
I'll also post the date that this site is published and see how long it takes for it to get indexed.
