Using Framesets

[Craig Ferrante]

I thought this might be of interest to the flash list concerning the

topic of Frames or not

to Frame questions-I found it in one of my Submitting programs help

file.


FRAMES: You may be interested to know that the AltaVista spider (at

least as of this writing) will not follow links that are in frames. This

means that if your opening page is created with frames, then the spider

will find absolutely nothing else on your site and you will seriously

limit your exposure to people doing searches for you unless you submit

each secondary page manually.


If you wish to use frames, a good idea is to put in fake links in the

<NOFRAMES> section.


Insert a link such as <A HREF="my_other_page.htm">Click here</A> should

work. Since it won't appear on your page, no one can accidentally click

on it. However, the spider will be able to follow it. Support for frames

may have been added by now, but it may still pose a problem with other

engines. Therefore, better safe than sorry.
