Hello PPL,

Hopefully someone can help here, a site that I created masks its original URL with our selected one, whenver I look at the source code this is what I see, (I have changed a few details such as the site name and real URL for the purpose of this example.)

<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="description" content="">
<META NAME="keywords" content="">
<TITLE>site name</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://ourrealurl.co.uk" SCROLLING="AUTO" NAME="bannerframe" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
site name
<P>
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://ourrealurl.co.uk">http://www.oururlmask.biz</A></DIV>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>


This is not what our head tags look like, we suspected this to be an action of the URL masking, we decided to use a Break out of Frames Javascript but should this be implemented before the meta tags to allow our tags to show through? or can this be placed safely after the tags but still allowing them to be seen?

it's a frameset. that's how they appear to browsers and more importantly that's all that SE crawlers will see unless you take alternative measures.

So, Maybe I don't quite understand here. You want to hide your URL in a frameset then want to add javascript to break out of the frames thereby defeating the purpose of frames any way.

Im not sure exactly what you are tyring to do..... However if you want to mask your url, force the name of your url to change, Im pretty sure you do it using the .htaccess file provide you are running your site on an appache server......... I think thats what you are tyring to do, but im slightly confused on what exactly you are tyring to do......

Ok, hopefully this one is more understandable....

Our real URL is http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk
When visiting this page viewing the source produces the desired results including all meta tags.

We have an alternate domain name (http://www.leadsdirect.biz) that points to the same site, but when viewing the source this is what we see

<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="description" content="">
<META NAME="keywords" content="">
<TITLE>site name</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk" SCROLLING="AUTO" NAME="bannerframe" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
site name
<P>
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk">http://www.leadsdirect.biz</A></DIV>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>


This is not what our head tag contains. We are using a break out of frmes scrip to prevent this happening but should the script come before or after the meta tags to allow our source for the original URL to be viewed.

right, so you are using frame forwarding to free space on your ISPs servers. Your actual shop is hosted on another server

Your best course of action is to put the .biz on a proper host and forget about breakout scripts etc then you can redirect from the free space to the proper host.
