Do links in internal frame <iframe> count?

[irock]

Recently, a PR8 page linked to mine, but I soon found out the webmaster put my link along with others in an internal frame <iframe>. So I was wondering if Google will count those links toward my link popularity.

Thanks!

Check to see if the page within the Iframe is in the Google index - if so then the link will count.

However chances are the PR of the page is a lot lower than PR8 - try accessing the page without the IFRAME - however be careful because if it is not indexed the toolbar ranking maybe guessed and therefore mis leading.

If the site has a `site map` or such, which links directly to the page loaded in the IFRAME, it'll work.

You yourself could link directly, then google would follow your link, index that page, and pass back PR.

These two URLs give an indication that Google doesn't follow IFRAME src.

[w3.org...]
[w3.org...]

The first has PR4, and has the second as an IFRAME src. The second isn't in Google. There are plenty of examples, I pick that one as it's OK to link to W3C pages here.

Assuming that the IFRAME points to a page, then your link from that page should be counted if it's in Google. However, the IFRAME src doesn't give PageRank to the IFRAMEd page from the 'parent' page.
