    Iframes & SEO - are they really bad?

    Are iframes really bad or is that the short way of saying that content doesn't get indexed?

    With conversion percentages so low and so many $100 day promotions I would like to make a column on my blogs that is just an iframe so I can change one page and then it changes on 80 of my blogs instantly (to whoever has $100 PPS that day).

    A clolumn of thubnails and links are not going to add SEO benefit to my site anyway so I don't care that it isn't getting indexed. My question is: "Is there an actual negative mark given for having an iframe on the page?"


    Thanks in advance

      i dont believe there is any penalty to it... as far as I know it simply just dosnt get to crawl what info is in the iframe...

          No...There is nothing inherently bad, it just may cause issues with indexing and page descriptions, etc.

            I don't know about a negative effect of having one iframe but you could always use a php include which would do the same thing...if I'm understanding you right.

              php include would be the way to go, imo.

                    Read what I wrote fool. I said the content within the iframe would be dogshit link spamming and it would be the exact same as on 80 other sites (duplicate content). I think it would hurt if it got indexed. I'm going iframe ftw.

                      oh sorry i got it now, anyway answer to what i wrote would be also nice and at least you can make small script to random your php include, so it will be not the same at all websites thats how i am running linklist on my sites ...

                        You should go iframe instead of php include if you intend to have the same content on all 80 cause of possible duplicate content penalty.

                              if you are including remote page, and the server that hosts that page is down, your page will not load either... so it's very bad thing to include a remote file/page...

                                      Ya if it's something you don't want indexed then don't go the php include route. Especially if you're talking about putting the same thing on a shit load of blogs that are interlinked.

                                      There would be benefits though on a smaller scale in a slightly different scenario

                                        From my experience, Google is the only SE that doesn't see the content as part of the site.
