That was pretty much my understanding. I was looking for more specific reasons as to why frames are poor to use with regard to search engine optimization/placement. I'm still learning. I would assume it is a problem because frames source file will not show the content for the HTML pages it pulls and therfore cause problems with getting good rankings - Is this a safe assumption? Search engines have not worked around this to provide a solution?

My understanding is that some (few) search engines can't read the individual frames withing the frame set. More importantly though it's because the <noframes> content, which was traditionally the way to get a SE to spider the site, has been depreciated by the SEs due to spam abuse. Cheers Stretch

I have courently a framed site (3 parts) tah has over 80,000 pages indexed and dozends at PR5 and 6. Personally, I'm working on a new frameless site. But it's hard for the type of application I run. It's doable but difficult to geet everything right such as linking and frame breaking and frame building from SERP links. If you start over and have a choice, try to avoid them, except were they make sence, i.e. web applications NOT document type websites. SN
