I work in seo field. Recently I was analysing my client website and found some tricky thing that I have never heard about. That is, the entire website content frame of my client website is loading in few other websites. I have checked those websites source code and able to found
“<body>

<div class="fadeMe">
<object type="text/html" data="https://www.example.com" width="100%" height="100%" style="overflow:auto;border:0px ridge blue">
</object>
</div>

</body>”

Interestingly they even add google analytic s tracking code.
I would like to know, what is benefit of doing this? Does this harm our seo work? or anything else
Please share your thoughts.

If you want to prevent this, you can stop browsers from displaying your content with an HTTP header:

X-Frame-Option: SAMEORIGIN

This stops modern browsers from allowing your site to be framed on third party sites.

Thank you.

Does doing this will harm our seo work?

Blocking external sites from framing your pages will not harm your SEO. It's also unlikely that others 'scraping' your content in this way has any negative effect. I prefer to be cautious, however, and block them anyway. It also improves security for your visitors (avoiding "cickjacking").

You can use htaccess:

<ifmodule mod_headers.c>
# Defending against clickjacking
Header always set X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
</ifmodule>

There is also a JavaScript you can put in the head section of your pages to break out of frames.
