According to my site logs, 100% of my visitors have FRAMES enabled. Therefore, the NOFRAMES tag is useless to site visitors. I have previously read where keyword stuffing in the NOFRAMES tag could invoke a penalty. This is an old SEO trick than the SEs caught onto long ago. I am currently developing a site that has frames (don't bother to scold me - I already know). Is there anything legitimate that I can put in the NOFRAMES tag that might help for SEO without appearing to be deceptive or spammy?
Even if 100% of your visitors have frames enabled, I think it is still important to have them, even if it's a message that to view this site without frames, visit these links - it's an accessibility issue if nothing else.
Maybe yu can place a link for every frame u use and also a little no-spammy description of that page.
This is the W3C suggestion for using NOFRAMES: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>A frameset document with NOFRAMES</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET cols="50%, 50%"> <FRAME src="main.html"> <FRAME src="table_of_contents.html"> <NOFRAMES> <P>Here is the <A href="main-noframes.html"> non-frame based version of the document.</A> </NOFRAMES> </FRAMESET> </HTML> A link to another page seems legit. Since I am framing an external page, I could include a link to that external page. A link back to the referring page might be contrued as a reciprocal. Perhaps a link to my index page?
