jaymc Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 My site uses frames, it has to be like this because I have an audio player and do not want the songs to be stopped upon page navigation So I have a small frame at the top with the music player, and the second frame for the content It actually works really well, however, I now have the problem of SEO When google hits my website it is just going to see the frame master page, thus, not desend into my 2 frames What can I do to combat this, using a popup for the music player is out the question, it must remain framed I read about cloaking, basically check if its google bot reading site, if it is, give it the second frame as the homepage, but thats not allowed.. so what other options do I have?

pquery Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 be sure to use your <noframe> tag on your index page also make sure that you have a robots.txt file and that you link to that in the noframes content like: <noframes> <a href="robots.txt"> Robots and spyders</a></noframes> (you might want to put more content in that noframes section though) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108148-seo-using-frames/#findComment-554526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymc Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 be sure to use your <noframe> tag on your index page also make sure that you have a robots.txt file and that you link to that in the noframes content like: <noframes> <a href="robots.txt"> Robots and spyders</a></noframes> (you might want to put more content in that noframes section though) so your saying google will ignore frames and just look at the nofeames stuff If so, if I put a direct link on there to my main frame, google will find its way to it? What had the robots.txt got to do with it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108148-seo-using-frames/#findComment-554548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pquery Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 having a robots.txt is a necessity when trying to get decent search engine ranking (in Google or any other search engine) http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/robots.shtml that's a link to a decent article explaining what it is and how to create a robots.txt file Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108148-seo-using-frames/#findComment-564373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
