Does a site captured in a frame loose PR?

even if a pop out of frames script is used?

I have had numerous scrapers capture portions of my site in a frame at which time I posted a pop out of frames script on all affected pages and notified the owner to remove it --which usually doesn't happen. However, now I am beginning to notice 3 of the affected pages have a URL only in Google searches.

I am aware of how a 301 redirect can cause a drop in PR. Could the famed content also cause a drop in PR as well as URL only listings?

Will these pages also loose their PR?

I've seen problems, recently, with cross-domain framed content getting into trouble on Yahoo (they fixed it in about 6 weeks, by the way). Google seems even more tangled up than Y! on the back end, so I think it's possible.

But url-only listings are running wild in recent times, so this may not be the whole story.

I've been wondering the same thing. I have trouble with two fairly big, well known, high ranking sites that perpetually frame my content pages. I used to feel better about it, because at least I ranked higher than they did for the page search terms in Google, but that's not the case since September 22nd.

I'm in the process of putting the frame buster code on each page, but my site is static html and this is a huge chore.

If frames do steal page rank, does the frame buster code steal it back or just remove the frame?

But url-only listings are running wild in recent times, so this may not be the whole story.

the only url-only listings I had on my site were for short snippets of more info I had set up in small windows and hadn't set them up as webpages. I have since disallowed them in robots text and added a meta tag for nofollow to see if that gets rid of the URL-only.

But recently these 3 pages that had been captured in frames came up with URLs only when they had been fine before. I have no other URL only pages so I am naturally concerned about the frames now.
