    For example: I created a webpage at http://some.com/index.html

    but index.html is showing a webpage from blogspot.com inside a frame. now is index.html has content according to google algorithm and considered for my site content too?

    Frames/iFrames are terrible for SEO. They are even worse than Flash... And as with Flash, if you want a page to rank then avoid using Frames/iFrames.

    Both you AND the blogspot site will NOT get credit for the content. The URL of the page being framed (the Blogspot URL) gets credit for the content that is framed. The page that is doing the framing (your page) typically has NO content. There are ways to "try" to give you page some content for the search engines to see using <noframe> but it is NOT the same as having the content on your page.

    Framing pages presents other issues as well... If the page being framed (the Blogspot page) has it's on navigation, now you have two navigations on the same page (you page has it's navigation and there is a navigation on the other site inside the frame). Some people will remove the navigation from the framed page (the Blogspot page) to compensate for this "double nav" issue. But then if the framed page begins to rank and someone clicks on the URL for the framed page (Blogspot page) in the SERPs, they are sent to a page with no navigation.

    So bottomline... Frames/iFrames are bad for SEO... and frequently present a bad user experience. Avoid them if at all possible.

    Correct... And what you see when you view the source of your page that is framing the blogspot page is exactly what the engines will see when they request your page.

    It is possible to make your page rank even though it is framing the blogspot page, but it will be very dependent on inbound links to make it rank. It will have very few on-page SEO elements to influence your ranking. You don't typically have <h1>, <h2> and other content on your page if you're framing another page. So basically you have <title> and inbound links to make your page rank.

    hey,

    in php, there is a function called "file_get_contents(url)" which brings everything from another site. you're getting all meta and html ..everything from another site. i think that i'm getting content for seo.

    intially, i really did that which wrote in second post. i thought for a clean url, title tag and putting the title with h1 tag, i would get some thing in search engine and then keep content inside a frame. frame content would give 0 points. but above 3 action would be good for seo. now i have remove the frame option as i have got the file_get_contents(url) function. it's working perfect.
