This must stop now! There are still web development firms that are creating new sites using frames. This is out of control; frames are NOT SEO friendly and never will be. A friend of mine asked me to look at his real estate site recently and the moment I hit the site I saw frames. My friend told me that this company called him out of the blue to build his site and that it was search engine friendly etc.
I can’t get over the lies that are told, these guys need to go out of business.
I got an email from a UK Celebrity today asking me about her site. She couldn’t understand why she wasn’t getting any traffic on her own name. I opened up the site, completely built in frames. All of the great content that was written about her is being called in from another server.
FRAMES ARE EVIL!!!!

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few.
After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few.
Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds.
I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients.
