Found one of my webpages in an IFrame of another site today. I have a frame buster installed but it wasn't working, so I fixed it and problem solved.

But on another thread, I read where a person in the same situation used code to block content to that specific website.

Which method is better?

I think you're much better off busting all framing attempts, not just those from a specific domain. It's easier, too!

Thanks, Tedster...

But how do the search engines interpret frame busting? I'm using the Javascript if (self!= top) top.location.replace(self.location).

Is it a 301?

A 301 is a server-side redirect -- 301 is the HTTP header code. Javascript framebusting is a client-side action, and has no impact on search engines at all. It also has no effect on the server header.
