Hello Everyone,

If i use iframe in my website, whether my content will be crawled?

Probably - the bigger concern is: when someone clicks on your result in the SERPs, they will just see the plain content, not your logo, navigation etc.
Either build some solution for that (e.g. Javascript or server-side session management) or rethink the iframe-approach.

I would not use iframes. Use includes to get the content into the same page.

okay got it. but what if i have a plain HTML page but i am using iframe for a small portion at the bottom right hand side of the page to display some updates? Will this content be crawled as the content of my source code page?

No, it won't. It might be crawled as a seperate document, though.
