Hello,
I've put together a little website, and my main issue is that somehow I've ended working with frames
Obviously, this screws up the whole search engine thing.....
Can somebody please point me in the right direction for removing them.
The website is http://www.daproductions.co.uk
I used DreamWeaver CS4 (on Mac) fwiw
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Regards,

I don't see any frames. You have areas set up in DIV blocks and each link goes to a separate page so the search engines shouldn't have an issue with it.
If you have any HTML source page that has <FRAME or <IFRAME in it then you are using frames and links will designate what frame name to go to.
Your site looks OK

It has frames when I look at it.
However. If you go here:
http://daproductions.x10hosting.com/html/index.html
The page looks fine, with no frames.
Nice looking site

Many thanks for the comments
hmm. I *thought* there weren't any frames, however, a lot of people on some other forums are saying that there are frames
So, IF I put in some metatag data, I should be laughing then.... Google et al should be quite happy with that....
Or not?
And of course, one final question - WHERE do I put the metatags
Cheers,

meta tags go in the <head> section.
The problem with frames is when search engine spiders look at your site, they only see the page, not the frames. So if you have one page, index.html, with 200 frames, and I do a search for your site, there is 1 match, index.html, and not anything else.
If you don't care about this, then you are fine.

Soo, forgive my ignorance, but surely then as long as metatags go in the index.html, regardless of the frames, the search engine will find my index page......
This may not be a problem, as I would want people to go to my index page first......
Or have I got it wrong?

Whooooa there - this is a problem!!
Just to clarify (I have this problem with another site)...
If you have a main account, say www.mysite.com with root and subfolders, the main index in the root will show normally.
If you then set up another site, using the same folders (i.e. ./anothersite/index.htm) but as another domain name (www.anothersite.com), the index file in the subfolder will be parsed using frames.
Another example.... www.sapphirecurtains.co.uk. This site is in fact an index within a much larger group that all fit under the same account and same root.
This does provide SE problems and the meta-tags ARE NOT read as they should be.
There may be other ways round this but the only solution I can think of is to have it hosted as a seperate account.
If you view your site from the html subfolder, there are no issues. Maybe just try to put the index directly into your root folder.
