Should I Use HTML Frames?
If you are designing your website in HTML or it is already created in HTML and perhaps created from a self build software and you have used 'Frames' then you might as well forget it and scrap it and start again.
The short answer is NO
!A Framed constructed website is NOT search engine friendly because Search Engines cannot read a framed source document that tells your browser to load up more than one page in your browser window at the same time. So this prevents the Search Engine from travelling to other frames and your sub pages and reading the content or keywords etc.
Therefore it is virtually impossible to achieve a high page rank on any home page website that is constructed in HTML frames. Start again and create a new site and put it down to experience.
