Has anyone noticed that Excite is ignoring <h1>.
<h2,3,4,5,> are being used for page ranking.

Can't make that association off hand startup. I use h1's everywhere. I shall try some h2's.

they seem to do well with this tag also <noframes></noframes>. I put all my best stuff in between it :)

Even if you are not using frames for the site?

Marcia, it is the 100% frames trick with the frame source on another domain.

immediately after the <head> tag I put:

<frameset rows="100%,*" cols="100%,*" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0> <frame src="http://www.XXXXXX.com" scrolling="auto" noresize> <!--

and immediately after the </body> tag I put:

</body> --> </Frameset>

The optimized page sits between the <!-- and the --> comments.

Ok, I am just wondering how in the heck, excite ranks a page? I have a site that I use and it is coming nicely for a 2-Keyword phrase (Hell, I'm number 3), yet it is a frame page and I have a generic <noframes> section in it.

Well, I do not have the keyword phrase at all in my page so I am wondering how in the he** Excite ranked it so high for not having the phrase in the page? (Neither one of the two keywords are in it at all!)

I'm not using any <hx> tags

However, I can not replicate it on another domain. It seems that Excite had to spyder my site by following through on all the links inside the frame. But it doesn't make sense. Did Excite at one time actually crawl through frames?

I'm not going to resubmit it since it's so good in the ranks but I'll be darned if I knew how that happened

Can anyone give out advise about what Excite is looking for when Crawling?

Thanks so much...
