for seo reasons... if I have something in an iframe... and I make changes to the information daily or at least weekly would that be good for seo? I can ad my blog to my website with an iframe... so the info in the iframe would be changing everytime I added something to my blog... which would be good for 'fresh' content right on my website right? I am a newbie... so I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not... sorry if it is!
iFRAMES are not good, try to use a static page , or dynamic They are the best for seo, no question is ever stupid.. we all started the same place Let me know if you need more info
Content that is in an iframe is NOT indexed as part of the url by the search engines; because the iframe content is at another url. However, content added server-side through an include IS indexed as part of the url. Iframes should be avoided. Regards Black_hand
Can you explain a little further here? what is an include? With my host I can only use html... can I do an 'include'?
Well the way SEs read it, SEs won't be able to read anything in an iframe because of the way iframe itself is coded. The best way is just to put it on the page using basic HTML or using any of the CMS system out there (there are some free ones). Hope this helps.
and to answer this question, it won't count against you for SEO, it just won't count at all as SE spiders won't be able to "feed" on it/read it to begin with.
Just build " static pages " with out the iframe <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> </body> </html>
Hi, Iframes do not hurt anything. The content inside is still indexable, but only on it's own. You can do that by placing a link somewhere on the page, linking to the content url that shows up in the iframe. That way, atleast the spiders have access to it. Who are you hosting with? Are you sure that they do not support languages such as php? You might also look into SSI (.shtml) Server Side Includes Hope that helps!
