If you are new to SEO, you may have heard webmasters talking about frames. Frames permit webmasters to upload pages to windows on the main page. These windows are also known as "frames." The other windows on the site will stay the same. One advantage to using frames is that the navigation menu could exist in a single file. Because of this, if a webmaster wanted to modify the navigation menu, all they have to do is change one navigation menu file. If the navigation bar was used on a page which didn't use frames, the code will be placed on every page of the site, and making changes to it would take much longer.

Server side includes have solved many of the SEO problems which were caused by frames. A lot of the things frames were used for can now be done in different ways. Because of this, some webmasters believe that frames are no longer necessary. Despite this, if you prefer to use frames on your website, there are techniques you can use to optimize it. It should be noted that there are a few problems with using frames. While visitors to a site with frames will see the text on the pages, the search engines will only be able to detect the code. Most search engines don't recognize frames, and cannot travel through the links within the frames.

Because of this, the search engine will not be able to spider the pages of your site. To solve this problem, the first thing you want to do is add a NOFRAMES tag. This tag was invented for old browsers which couldn't detect frames. A NOFRAMES tag will advise visitors to update their browser in order to properly view your site. However, this doesn't solve the problem with the search engine. One thing you will want to do is add spider friendly content and links to the NOFRAMES tag. To keep the search engines from listing your page without the navigation bar, you will want to add code which will allow the search engine to list your entire site.
