Re: UKNM: Frames and Search Engines

First: 

Analyse their log files to see exactly where their traffic is coming from.

This will show them which search engines are the most effective and which

ones they are recieving no traffic from.


Second:

Determine their budget - no point advising a complete rewrite if they

havn't got the money!


Third:

Look at the site and see if there are some areas where frames do not always

need to be used. This areas can be then be fed to the search engines to

generate additional traffic.


Alternatively create seperate framesets for different sections of the sites

as this will allow you to tag each frameset individually.


The problem with just fiddling with the meta tags, is most framed sites

only have one set.


Hope this is of use
