Learn from my bad experience!

    I noticed that I have very little income from my site. I tried to analyze the problem and I found that I have no visitors coming from search engines! so I tried to examine the problem and here is what I've found out:

    I have a domain name softwaremaster.co.nr, when you register this domain, you have to choose one of two options: either cloaking or not and they recommend cloaking so I chose it. When you choose Cloaking they build you one page with a frameset consists of one frame which has the src of your real site:
    http://softwaremaster.awardspace.com/ in my case, here is how:

    <frameset rows="100%,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
    <frame name="conr_main_frame" src="http://softwaremaster.awardspace.com/">

    The problem as I think is that: I have many links to softwaremaster.co.nr (which is one page with a frameset) but Google knows nothing about the real site http://softwaremaster.awardspace.com/ so it only indexed the first one page site and knows nothing about the other which has the real content!

    I think that's why I have no traffic from search engines and now I don't know what to do :( .
    The other option is not to have cloaking which means when you type softwaremaster.co.nr in your browser, you'll be redirected (I think through htaccess file because I don't see any redirection tags) to http://softwaremaster.awardspace.com/ I even don't know if Google will index the main site which has the real content then or not
    Sorry for being long, I just wanted to share my bad experience and warn you not to do the same. any suggestions will be very helpful.

    my site is hosted at awardspace. I'll keep the domain name as it is for now and try to get a good pr with it. Now I've left frames forever
