    I want to join the coop network, but I dont know if it will work in an iframe page?
    What Im worried about is if the automated bot will recognise that I have the links on my page. (iow, does it index the iframe code, or just the plain html?)

    my page is at www.onlylyrics.net. The navigation on the left is a php file inside a iframe.
    the google ads are also in the iframe, but they are working perfectly, showing relevant ads.

    thanks.

    bummer :(
    how about if I display the link in the alternate text of the iframe (this will be in an actual html file then), just for the robot, and then display the actual link in the navigation bar with the php code?

    Sorry... that would be cloaking, and would get you banned from the co-op.

    Yes, technically this would be cloaking (although the 'real' and 'cloaked' versions would be the same..)
    But I do realise that it can easily be abused, so i will try to find another way. Maybe I can convince my host to enable mod_rewrite.
    Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.
