Comments on: SEO & iFrames: A Glimpse at What Search Engines See http://www.straightupsearch.com/archives/2008/05/seo_iframes_a_g.html Just another Oneupweb Blogs weblog Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:46:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Norm http://www.straightupsearch.com/archives/2008/05/seo_iframes_a_g.html/comment-page-1#comment-13225 Norm Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:34:55 +0000 http://dev.straightupsearch.com/archives/2008/05/seo-iframes-a-glimpse-at-what-search-engines-see.html#comment-13225 Hi, Your SEO & iFrames piece came up the first thing in Google for my search, "iframes and seo". What's more, it was EXACTLY the piece of info I needed. This date, Jan 2010, I'm working on a much needed major monster total revision rewrite of my Newslt.com website. I was thinking that as a final sprucey-goosey, that I'd toss in pertinent Google Blog pages as a way for folks to comment. Purely for SEO, really. I suspected dirty work afoot, and that's why I came looking...and found your excellent verbiage the first thing out of the box!!! So, I guess if I still take time to create unique blog urls for all the jillion or so pages...I'll just link to them the old fashioned way and be done with it. None of this inline frame business. What'd be the point? At least when I finish I'll have some extra linkbacks...such as they are. Thanks for the stuff I needed when I needed it!!! Norm Hi,

I've run into this issue in the past with a client, an affiliate marketer, who was using an iframe to display an affiliate link. They came to me asking why they were nowhere to be found in the search engines. No content= no indexing. Good advice.

I've seen quite a few sites lately drop out of Google when the site was redeveloped using iframes. Now I know why and why there is no way I would very use iframes.</p> Thanks for the advice.

I'll start by explaining how I am referring to iFrames in this post. An example of an iFrame coding may be like the following:</p> <p><iframe name="CompanyA" src="http://www.companyA.com/page1.htm" width="500" height="280" frameborder="1" ></p> <p>The search engine will be able to follow the link within the src=, thus leading it directly to Company A's site. So, from an SEO perspective, using additional coding and navigation won't make much difference as the search engine will be following that link directly to page1.htm on Company A's website.<br /> <br /> From a usability perspective, having the additional links/navigation from Company A's site display on sites B-ZZZ could help the user interact with the content within the iFrame more successfully. It likely depends on the purpose of the frame.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps. Good luck!</p> Thanks for the great questions, CuriouSEO.

Is it best to design some minimal navigation for the content that will load within the iframe, as it will get spidered, and those additional links will lead back to Company A site? Plus, should the iframed content get indexed, there would be some basic level of navigation for those entering from a search?</p> What if you’re Company A that provides the “content” that would be placed via an iframe on many other websites (Comapanies B – ZZZ), which will have a dedicated page on each of those sites specifically for hosting the iframe in which Company A will deliver content (and a powered by backlink outside of the iframe on the dedicated page).
