Joseph Witchard Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I had hoped I would be able to program my own JavaScript news scroller in time for the next version of my homepage. However, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I have found a script on google that looks perfect for me to use before I can program my own. However, it uses the <iframe> tag. I have always completely avoided frames because I know that search engines hate them. Does the <iframe> tag have this problem as well? Would I be better off to search for a scroller that doesn't use that tag?

Maq Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have always completely avoided frames because I know that search engines hate them. I assume you're talking about rank. Remember crawlers see the pages just like you and I do.

Maq Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 sitemaps help if you use them but id still avoid them as much as possible Just curious, why avoid using site maps? I thought they help you a lot with ranks. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/124893-iframes-and-search-engines/#findComment-645361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes I agree with avoiding iFrames. There are a certain time and place for them but to have your whole site with iFrames is tacky to me.
