    Posted: 23 July 2003 at 12:53pm

I'm having a lot of trouble with search engines and a frames site I built for a client.

I've tried very hard to learn and understand the relationship between seach engines and frames, but I've come to realize that anything to do with search engines is complex at best.

Could somebody out there have a look at my site and its meta tags and let me know what I'm doing wrong. 

The site is www.trailconnections.ca

<META name="description" content="Insert Description Here">
<META name="keywords" content="Insert Keywords Here">

umm....the meta tags are in the right place, but you have no real keywords, nor a real description...

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't really tell me anything.

Could you perhaps be a little more specific?

view the source code of the individual framed pages... they all have the following code:

<META name="description" content="Insert Description Here">
<META name="keywords" content="Insert Keywords Here">

I would suggest updating that with real content.

To KCWebMonkey:  Thank you very much, I hadn't realized I'd done that.  I guess closer inspection of all my pages is warranted.

experience:non-framed pages are always on better than framed ones for search engines

Are you talking about external search engines like Google? and that they're not including pages of your site? Or you have difficulty making your own one?

Most search engines use a spider to crawl for content, following the links from page to page, and given just the index page (which usually only contains a frameset), it may not find the other pages of your website to look for content in.

So, long story short: a site map which links to all the other pages of your website usually helps search engines find your pages. It also helps usability too.
