What Do You Think?

Ok lets say that I have a frameset that has 4 pages in it with two of the frames set to noscroll. Of those 2, 1 of them is an anchor or the "top" page with the navigation bar in it and the other is where the topics change with multiple pages. Below the line of visibilty I start building a hierachical structure based on theming and keyword linking using the "top" page as a "hub" to all of the "child" pages below. Each of the "child" pages is optied for subsets of relevent terms related to the main theme keyword and there is crosslinking between frameset folders all on relevent topics with each "child" having links back to root.

Directory structure is 3 folders deep from root so as to maintain "nearness" and there can obviously be as many framesets as needed.

Each page in the frameset has an external js to put it back in the frameset should it be called up by itself.

1. Does this sound like it will work?
2. Should I keep spidey off the frameset page so he don't get suspicious?

BH,

This sounds a LOT like a scheme I came up with early last year. Yeah, it worked, sort of, but the maintenance drove me insane!

I finally went to frameless pages, mostly out of mental health concerns I think, and found that already decent rankings improved even more, and site stickiness doubled.

If you insist on following this foolhardy venture, let me know when visiting hours are at the home, OK? ;)

I can understand what you mean there tedster, but the frames actually are part of a presentation and the underlying seo is secondary. I just thought since I had 400+ pages in that presentation "module" that I could put it to good use. The main seo is still at root and branches down into this area as well as others.

Should I keep spidey off the frameset?

BTW hours are from 6-8 M-W-F...no shiny objects, no sudden movements and bring me a Snickers bar.

>each "child" having links back to root

If you are going to do it spread the links about a bit more and not link them all back to the root.

Why NFFC? Curious

I think there is only so much benefit that can be leveraged out of linking back to the root. Flag some of the other pages as being of importance, same goes for external link pop.

Gotcha...not so much template-y-ishness
