Iframe and SEO

I have recently given out an Iframe code to display a music chart on their website..

Would this iframe code, help me with search engine optimization as the engine will see in the code that its iframing my page?

And secondly, if in my i-frame code was a link to my site, would that count as an inbound link?

Thanks

 

SE's have a hard time with any type of frame. Is there a need for it? Sometimes it can even be considered spam, so use at your own risk.

 

I-frames are usually not read by search engine spiders. I have never seen an example of I-frames being indexed by a search engine. So, anything in the i-frame will be ignored.

 

Well iframes usualy aren't read, but if you have links to sites in frames spider might read them
But still your result will be worse in comparison to dynamic sites.

 

intersting, there are companies now where you can record a voice mail to an 800# and it saves as a swf file. That is called in from their server via iframe code. Was hoping that would not be a problem and the SE's would like the swf media... one company is instant audio dot c o m

 

You would be better giving them a javascript code that calls the iframe and dsiplays it. Then you can get them to put your link in <noscript> tags.

Or better still get them to use php to pull the iframe into their site server side.

 

I have usually found that a DIV can be used instead of an Iframe.

 

A div?

Okay so i have this file.

file.php

how would I let the another server call it, with php.

<?php include "http://www.site.com/file.php"; ?>

This good?

 

Thats fine.

 

looks good to me.
