Website Design Mistakes #1 – Frames
This is the biggest website design mistake that will effect the marketing and search engine ranking of almost any website – FRAMES!
The search engine spiders will hit the main frame usually the index.html and see nothing – just the html code on the page and move on. The core information is usually on the pages being drawn into the frames, but the frame commands have been abused in the past. Drawing web pages from other websites into the site owner's frames, as if the content is owned by the site drawing it in. This is a huge no-no with the search engines.
Site owners wanted to maintain control of the visitor – similar to the way about.com operates. But those web pages will not get indexed.
In the light of keeping things short and easy to read – The only other thing I want to say is – avoid frames – end of story.
