Is this spam?

I am not sure.

No content, no text, no images, just a white page in Google cached.

This is the html code:

<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META name="description" content="Text">
<META name="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,....">

<title>Name</title>

</head>

<!-- frames -->
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="home" src="http://www.domain.com/name/index.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="no">
<frame name="white" src="http://www.domain.com/white.html" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="0" frameborder="no">
</frameset>

</html>

For [domain.com...] PR4
For [domain.com...] PR3

Probably SPAM. I see no other use for "100%,*" framesets. The site is probably a NOFRAMES spammer. I think "100%,*" is pretty blatant.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Aprendiz.
(I recommend paynt's welcome post [webmasterworld.com])

It could be one of those 'frame based redirection' services, for people who want to point a domain at their free ISP space.

While not wilful spam, I'd be hard pressed to think of a reason why those types of URLs need to be in a search engine.

OOps did not think of that ciml.
Some way to make sure is to get the site on a search on AlltheWeb and hit the "more hits from:" link. That will show the rest of pages of the site.

Thanks.

This is what I've done:

Search on ATW: Company Name

#1 Title:Company Name
Link to www.companydomain.com
no more hits available

#4 Title:Company Name
Link to www.othercompany.com/companyname/index.html
more hits available

I get the same page with both links. In the first one, the address in the browser is [companydomain.com...] and PR4; in the second the address in the browser is [othercompany.com...] and PR3
