Hey,

what do you think about Google and the I-Frame Tag?
Do you think Google will follow a link in an i-frame?
Has anybody experienced problems with i-frames?

I know there are bot/crawler issues with frames in general, but I would like to know specially if Google will "count" outgoing links generated inside of an iframe?

Indirectly, yes. But, not really for the purpose I think you are trying to achieve.

Let's call your page with an IFrame "Page A," and your actual IFrame Source page "Page B" (which contains external links that are viewable on Page A). Google will "count" your link (IFrame SRC) to Page B from Page A. And, it will "count" the links on Page B as being on Page B. So it counts the links by going through Page B, not as if they were actually on Page A. Does that make any sense?

Does Google crawl/follow i-frames that are found on a page?

Last time I did some testing, they did not.

Anyone can contribute on this?
