We feed content to our clients in an iframe that they can post on their site. The dynamic content is hosted on our servers so they drop the iframe html into their page once and don't have to worry about it any more.

My question is about where the content of that IFRAME gets indexed by the search engine crawlers. That is, I want the contents of the iframe to be SEO'd for the client site.

any thoughts on the best way to implement?

Iframes are crawled and indexed for the site they are hosted on

It would be better not to use iFrames at all.

I think iFrame wouldnt help yoru client's SEO, instead it will help yours, which may not fit the purpose for your client's site.

I have Google adsense using javascript to extract their ad content to the client's site. I wonder if that would help your client's SEO. Worth a research for that.

You can always do a PHP include to an external file and achieve the same thing.

Whenever in doubt of text being crawled by the spidders, you can open the page in a browser, then View Page Source, and look and see if the text is on the page. If you can see the text on the page, most likely, the spidder will see it too.

This is a general rule. Doesn't apply all of the time. For instance inside of script tags for JavaScript.. or any text inside of your css.

But most of the time it holds true


// Sidebar
If you use keywords to name your id's and/or classes, it doesn't work. The spidders do not look at your css...
You will not get any weight added to your page for the use of these keywords..
// End Sidebar
