someone asked me if it's ok to frame my site

Hi all,

So this guy contacted me asking for permission to frame some of my pages into his pages, I visited his site and seems very clean, he provides some massage courses, he has 0 advertising and I think he doesn't even know what adsense is

my question is if this can cause a problem for me? do you have any experience with this?

thanks

 

I could be wrong, but on DP I read about situations like this and the fact that you should avoid 'em.

I might be wrong. I vaguely remember it.

I think there is nothing wrong doing this. It would be better if he could put links instead of frames

 

I don't really see HOW anything could be wrong with this. There is nothing stopping the average Joe from putting your site into a frame, and there is really no way to find out either..

 

Okay, sorry then. I think I was reading something else.

Even google frames your site when they show a result from your site in the image search.

 

I wondered about the same kind of deal. I have a bubby that owns a fairly popular site and he asked me if he could frame in some content I have. So far I don't know if I should or not.

Let me know if you find any reason to be concerned, as i wouldn't complaign about the extra traffic. But I am not certain if we both would end up with an issue of duplicated content or not.

 

This is a very good topic for me because I frame some of the links I have.
The links I have are topics and subject that are interesting for the people that visit the page, but I do not have information about. That is the reason of the link.
The reason I frame them is becuase it gives the oportunity to the user to come back to my page and use the information I have or the other lnks.
Is this wronge?

you "call" the page straight from it's own server, not host it on your server, it is just your website, so there is nothing wrong, i dont see any duplicate content here.

 

Rewlie, if this is for me.Thank you very much for the comment.

your most welcome mate

 

I think it's okay , At least this guy asked you before he use frame to your site.

Someone use frame to your site and burning your bandwidth without noticing you

 

The only problem with framing is that they can put their ads around your content. If he doesn't do this then I see no problem. If at a later time he does do this you can always put a javascript frame busting script on your pages.

 

That is very interesting. How do you up javascript frame busting script in your page?

just do a google on "javascript frame busting" but it basically works like this :

<script language="javascript">
if (top.location != self.location) {
top.location = self.location;
}
</script>

Code (markup):

 

Thank you very much sgthayes.
This will be very useful for me.
