These sub-sites are linked to only by domain name itself, and should never be referred to as a subdirectory of our webspace. I'm worried that search engines might somehow figure this out when viewing their site with the framed forwarding... am I right to be?
Eg: framed forward says - for domain www.yourdomain.co.uk go to www.anotherdomain.com/6/index.html
Let me know if this is posted to the wrong forum! there's so many...
Thanks in Advance, Nick Payne

This forum is fine, by the way.
I would assume that the search engines would not take very kindly to the methods you are using as it sounds like you you are using a redirect (forwarding), as well as frames.
Is the forwarding acutally a redirect, or is it a line of text that instructs the user to click on a link to the new page and new domain?
It's a framed forward, so the master html doc has nothing but a full-page frame leading to the desired content. Take a look if you like, it's all at [url snipped] - take out the spaces (I don't want the engines to show my questions here!) and you can see the sub-sites on the "showcase 1" page. See the source for the sub-sites and you'll see the redirect.
Thanks for your reply, it's really appreciated!
