Re: UKNM: Frames and Search Engines

[Greg Crockart (Hyperlink plc)]

Lee,


It really is a combination of elements. Some engines like meta-tags,

while other disregard them completely, other look at titles, while other

look at the number of links to the specific site. It is for this reason

that we target individual search engines in a different way, rather than

relying on a 'one for all' optimized page which will have very limited

results.


regards,


Greg
