Content under iframes and google

[nodiseos]

Does Google do anything weird with the content behind iframes? I have a page with a bunch of content and also an iframe that takes up the whole page (the content of the iframe is flash and unindexable).

<iframe align="top" frameborder="0" height="100%" width="100%" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src=".

It is not shwing up in any of the search engines after 2 weeks though it is linked from the home page of a couple web sites. I am concerned that Google search enginesare ignoring the content thinking the page is tying to fool them about its contents or something like that.

Here is the link in question: <edited>

Any ideas?

Welcome to Webmaster World.

I don't use iframes but I would assume nothing weird is going on. The main page content and the content of the iframe are just two different pages. I think your main page will perform purely on the basis of what is on it, and the iframe content will be ignored as far as the main page is concerned, making no difference to it.

The iframe page could become indexed in its own right, but from what you've said, it's unlikely to rank for anything much.

BTW 2 weeks is not a long time with the present Google.
