So you're using the iframes for advertising? There is nothing wrong with that - after all, that is what Google Adwords and some Amazon adverts use.

I wouldn't use iframes for navigation and menus though - use PHP or another scripting language if you need to include the same HTML in every page.

Very generic answers to a very generic question:-

1. Bad

2. Yes

3. For you? Not use it.

iFrames are a powerful tool for a number of reasons, but I suggest you stay clear until you really know how to use them to your advantage.

A search on WebmasterWorld for the term "iFrame" will I'm sure reveal a whole load of useful information.

But there r 4 things in IFRAME

1. Top banner
2. left menu
3. Right banner, which will be Google adsense
4. Bottom will be google

Please give your opinion now.
