I am planning to use IFrame for my site since some of the lists I have on the site are too long and I don't want to implement any pagination on it. Will that affect the crawling ability of google bots to my site?
Yes - it will also confuse your visitors: they may come to the page in the i-frame and not know how to get to the main site. I would say: resist the temptation to use i-frames or any other type of frames. If a list is too long, try splitting it up by subject.
Iframes is not a good point of SEO Olso i personaly don't like the estetich of iframes Regards hope my post helps you
I disagree with some of the comments you've received here. Iframes can work great for a layout like you are talking about, having a list in the iframe so you don't end up with a long page. I'd set it up so that the iframe doesn't load another page. Just put the content inside the iframe tags. Search engines will crawl it just fine. And you will have the layout you want. Just to clarify though - we are talking about iframes, not 'break up the page into pieces' frames.
Focus More On Having a Better View Of the website than on SEO terms If the website is not eye-catchy then who visits it you will then get backlinks and rankings
I used to have iframes running on this site .. http://techtadka.net after the experience i had, i advise you and any other person reading this thread and having the same query to avoid iframes at all costs.. google did still index my pages but i had a sitemap to tell it to do so.. and i think usually google will not crawl iframe content.. some other problems are - - url of site pages..they remain the same as the new page loads in iframe and no workaround for this - problems with adsense if you plan to use on your site using iframes is just not worth the trouble .. use only if the content in iframe is irelevant to being crawled
