frames as doorways

[HIPO]

Hi.

Could anyone tell me if they have had any experience with using 100% framesets and the optimised content in the <noframes> tag.

I want to create many "doorways" that are framesets and load my clients url into the 100% frame. These "doorways" will be a collection of themed pages (like a mini themed website).

The following url is an example of what I am trying to do. ( I have loaded www.nike.com into the 100% frame just as a test).
www.uk-new-homes.co.uk

Thanks in advance.

I have did this with many sites and added
actually a template of my site in the no frames tag and I can say for sure that google will crawl it. Other search engines
say msn, hotbot seem ok with it also.

bigfishfind.com
outdoorama.com
gameoutdoors.com

all of them get good engine traffic!!!
look at the frame source

Good to see you here.

I also have been trying to optomise framesets with the noframes tags and had a great rating without hardly trying. For an example, see the framesource at: www.ymtltd.co.uk

I'm also trying the same at another client at www.careforlife.co.uk/index2.html

I'm studying ratings to check progress.

Frame work AKA "Poor Mans Cloaking"

I have had some reall good success with this form of Opt. It works and with the idea of PfP it will be come more and more easy to get a good listing..

Further on my last point, I've been gaining some good results in google, probably because of all the inside site linking within the frameset. I also use a really nifty javascript to display a 'more information' button when a page loads out of the frameset (but not displayed when the page is called up within the frameset), so this allows full use of all site pages whether in or out of frames for spiders to do their work.

Early days yet ...

Nice one, yanton. It's hit-me-on-the-head obvious, now that you say it. This will help me a lot with one problematic client site. Thanks.

I now do very something similar. I used to do an automatic re-direct to wrap my frameset around the non-framed pages, but that gave the impression to the surfer that they were being redirected to a different site. Now the "more info" button takes them to my home page. My stats seem to indicate that this works.
