NOFRAMES tag and Indexing

I need help...

Dear All,

I have a problem concerning the google indexing of a frame designed website I am in charge [edit].
I have inserted in the index.html the <noframes> tag including some links to the other pages of the site. These pages are indexed by alltheweb and other engines but not by google.
The google bot is looking to my website once a day but only the index page and the other frames which were indexed before the last dance.

Can someone help me?

Many thanks...

No URL drops you will be clipped by a mod straight away.

and your noframes tag should be after the frames tag but google should still see it.

i suggest you create a site map and place that on a indexable page

Thank you DaveN for the time you have spent to answer me.

I don't understantd your first sentence about the url, dou you mean that I shouldn't have post the url site or are you talking about the links I have inserted into the first page of the site? I thought the link were the only way to index a framed website.

Concerning the sitemap to be placed into an indexed page, the only pages which are indexed in google are the index page and all the frames attached to it (this is a complex framed site :(, if I could do it, I will delete all the frames ad re-built the site entirely! )

This site is perfectly indexed by Fast, I don't understand....

Have a good day!

Google follows both the frames and the links in the <noframes> section, provided they are not hidden in JS.

Hello GuRvAn, Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

The more complex the frameset, the more difficult it is to get the spider in there and index content. I work with framesets periodically and they are typically split framesets. Top/bottom or left/right. No more than two frames.

If you have the option of busting out of frames, I would recommend that you take that route. The rewards will be plentiful once you can provide a clean path to content.

Hello pageoneresults!

Yes, I aggree with you! but I don't have time to delete the frames. The work is very high, the site is translated into 33 languages and each version has 200 pages...this site is too complex for me! the problem is the choice of frames at the beginning of the project.

Maybe I can ask google why only their bot do not index my pages (not sure of the result...).

If the other engines successfully index my pages, Why google should not? I'm sure there is a solution...

Thanx

Why not make a phone call to Biz-Dev and cut a deal. If you have a product or online service that has that kind of breadth and depth...you may have something to talk about with Google.

Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?

Have you run the pages through a validator? You don't need to have 100% valid code, but I'm wondering if there isn't some syntax error that's tripping up Googlebot before it gets to your links.
