Domain pointers not showing up in Google
A client of ours asked us to register some domain names for them just over 5 months ago. We used freeparking.co.uk to register them and configured each domain with keywords and other meta tags as we've done in the past. Using their 'web forwarding' facility, the freeparking system then uses frames to display the client's main web site but places our newly configured meta information on the frameset HTML. The new domains are then linked to on the client's main web site.
We've done this before for some of our own domains and acheived very good results. However, this time Google just refuses to display them on searches for 'site:<domain>.co.uk'
If you put the domain in the search, then it will return one result - this is the main web site's page that displays the links to the new domains. This tells me that Google has found the links, but it seems the links havn't been spidered in the way that they seemed to have been before.
Any ideas? - Have I missed something this time, or has Google changed it's ways?

Hi - thanks for the reply.
Whilst I do understand what you're saying, and completely agree with you, what I'm wanting to do is get some new domain names listed in Google. Since this client has registered a number of additional domains, I am trying to do this without physically hosting a site behind each one of them. Can you think of a solution that would get them listed without physically hosting each one?

OK, as I understand it, these domains of yours don't actually have any content in them save the frames and the few keywords in meta tags. So if such a domain were to rank high in the SERPs, I would think it does so solely on its link popularity.
I assume that the "very good results" you've achieved in the past with domains like these were in relatively uncompetitive markets where a single link from your main website is enough to rank a domain with zero content. In a competitive market, this means almost nothing.
If Google has found the link on your main page but doesn't seem to have indexed the target page, make sure you haven't nofollowed the link. Then check with the cache:domain.com command to see if the page has been cached by Google. I think it's possible that Google hasn't indexed the domain for lack of content and/or credibility.
