    I own www.geojobs.org . GIScafe.com is using my site inside one of their inline frame (I hope technically I got it right but you got the idea) without my permission.
    I don’t remember giving them this permission other than requesting for a link. They are very much related to my site. Probably I got some traffic from them too.

    But is it going to affect my site anyway? It is legal to use someone's site without permission?

    You can put code in your head to break that frame whenever someone views it.

    ei when they click on the link from your competitor, it will go straight to your site, no frames.

    I don't see anything illegal about that... people have been doing that since the internet discovered frames.

    If you don't want your site trapped in frames, a practical approach is to put this JS between the head tags on your site
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
    <!--
    if (top.location != self.location) {
    top.location = self.location;
    }
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>
    Code (markup):
