Java 'break out of script frame' and PR distribution

[layer8]

Hi all,

If I link from a framed site that has PR to a normal html page that has a break out of frames java script on it will the PR still be distributed, providing the internal page has adequate navigation structure.

Many thanks for your help in advance :)

JavaScript links are normally not followed by Google, so no PR will be distributed from that type of link.

The frame breaker on the "linked to" page has no bearing at all on PR -- the link is going to this-page.htm. Some spiders can now read and follow js links, but afaik, none parse and execute js. (In this case even if they did it should make no difference.)

That is, if the "linked from" page is able to pass PR.

Is the link coming from within the framset itself, say in the <noframes> tag? This should be okay.

Or is it coming from a content page from within the frameset? If so, make sure that the framed page is otherwise reachable by a spider. A site map usually works well for this: home page linked to a site map linked to framed content pages.

OK the page rank say pr5 for example hits home page, in normal href it follows like vulcanic lava if your site is correctly structured.

My problem is a bit tricky, the PR hits the site which is complete flash - everyone says stay away from flash but this is my pet project and I do want the client to achieve good ranking. I have seen framed sites reach top serp positions without using breakout scripts.

From a user point of view it's the same url for all sub pages which is not good for the user. Dilema, I want to build site for user, so my solution is to link to new page and allow pr to pass on. Thing is, im implementing frames to allow no tags information to be read by a spider which will be a page within itself. (Wow big size site coming up)

Dilema robot or user, Google say user, if I do that no PR distribution. My solution to allow a win win situation is to frame the site (in a single frame) add seperate (crawlable) html page within no tags and then href to a directory page from within no tags page.

In order to design the site for the user, I would use break out scripts, i.e. they are eiter contained in the html of the directory page or accessed from it. This breaks out and bang you see the full url in your browser bar.

Now if it is a normal href then pr should pass on regardless of the scripts on the page - so my theory is that is should work.

Has anyone seen this work? - ofcourse if I had my way i'd work without flash but its important for the client.

Your feedback is appreciated!
