Does Google not index framed content? - GoFuckYourself.com

Okay, this is probably a bizarrely n00b question coming from me, but I was just looking at how SpookyCash.com displays to Google and it seems like it can't see anything in the frame where the news (all the page's text) is.

Does Google not index framed content?

Suggestions on how to have that coded better for SEO?

You could try including it on the page via php or ssi rather than framing it.

Used to use includes. Don't recall whether those were indexed. One of those things that just slips through the cracks and I end up using some choice four letter words when I notice.

did some research on this topic few weeks ago... nope, google doesn't index frames

It does if its a css one using a div with overflow:auto;

#iframe
{
overflow:auto;
width: 300px;
height:300px;
}

The content of includes will be definitely indexed since they become an inseparable part of the "parent" page content.

Google should be able to follow frames, but do you really want the URL of the iframe showing in search results?

I dont think so either, but the includes works.

And by the way. about that photo of you.

There is a frame buster inside the frame, so it wouldn't work as a page on its own, but I do need it to show for the actual page it is supposed to appear as a part of.

Just a warning that Google will be able to detect the redirect, since their toolbars (if suitably configured) phone home with every URL a surfer visits. I don't know whether they'd actually do anything about it since frame busting is pretty common.

Is there any reason you can't use an include so that the content is neatly delivered on a single page?

Google generally doesn't like frames and as said here before, includes will work.
