Google Crawling iFrame

    Does Google crawl any url in the iFrame?

    For example,

    
    <iframe src="http://www.abc.com" name="frame1">
    Your browser does not display frames.  Please <a href="http://www.abc.com/">Click Here</a>
    </iframe>
    
    Code (markup):
    Will Google crawl any of the iframe code (either in the frame or noframe section)?

    If so, what value will it have on site abc.com ?

    They say that they have difficulty crawling frame elements. And its not recommended. So its better not to do it I guess.

    It will crawl the noframe successfully. I have tried it and I have some work that depends on it (an iframe that offers a free service got me the first place for some keyword using the URL in the noframe tag).

    In my code example, the line containing 'Your browser does not contain frames ...' is the noframe section.

    My understanding is that it wouldn't crawl the iframe, but will crawl the page that the iframe is linked to.
