Can Being Framed Affect Google Listings?

Someone framed my site.

Hi,

I have just found out that one of my affiliates has put a frameset around my entite website.
The only difference to a user is that the Title now reads '[AffiliateDomain] in association with [MyDomain]'.

Could this do any harm to my website in Google?

Well, it won't affect your site, since you have no control over whether another site tries to put you in its frameset. But allowing your site to appear in a frameset, makes you look a bit amateurish and it opens your affiliate to the charge of "passing off" their site as yours.

I would advise putting a line of javascript on your pages in the head of the document:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (window!= top) top.location.href = location.href;
// -->
</script>

to make sure your site always opens in its own window and asking your affiliate (for their sake and yours) to put a bit more effort into it than just including your site in a frameset.

In terms of Google, I'd just expect some free PageRank.
