Inbound links within Inline Frame Content??

I know that most search engines will index iframe content, but my situation is this:

I have a client who has several partner sites. Each of these partner websites contain an iframe that embedds his web application which is a search utitlity. This embedded application is pulling directly from his webiste...so after ths src= part.

Because his site application is "inside" this iframe on the partners websites does it COUNT as an inbound link or "vote" to search engines?? And what if he puts a link at the bottom of the application but STILL inside the iframe pointing directly to his website...does it count as inbound link?

I'm thinking it does not, because the actual iframe content IS his website source...not the partners...but not sure. Anyone know the answer?? Thanks!!

Just a guess but I don't believe any content inside an iframe is indexed.

The problem is the webpage does not contain the data ... only a reference to the data.

If anything it should be counted as a link to the original site since that info is available on the page.

When in doubt use 'view source' ... this is what Google sees and is used in the index.

I'm pretty sure that Google does index iframe content...because I have a client website that is being indexed: www.brlawson.com Run an index check and you will see the iframe content being indexed.

I've read that since the content in the iframe is actually a different website (in this case) then it does not count as an inbound link...but not real sure on this..no-one seems to know the answer...

When I check the cached text of some pages from this site I get the following message "Your browser does not support inline frames. "

See http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:CDqDhoMhsZ4J:www.brlawson.com/services.htm+&hl=en&lr=&strip=1

So I think the answer is correct -- Google does not recognize it as on page content.

hmm..not sure what you're using to check for cached pages on Google...but type this in: site:brlawson.com and hit search. You will see that all the text that is set as the src of the inline frame pages is being indexed...even the services page.

Also- if you want to see if the text that goes "within" the inline frame is cached...type this into google: cache:http://www.brlawson.com/servicestext.htm You will then see that the text is being cached..and this is the page that's set as the "source" for the iframe...so we can conclude that iframe content is being cached and indexed by google.

The big question I'm trying to answer is how does it treat inbound links on those iframe pages...especially if the iframe content is a source from a different website...

Sorry ... I do not see "services.htm" in the site: search ... however I see "servicestext.htm" which is the iframe content.

What I did was ...

1. info:www.brlawson.com/services.htm

2. Select cache at bottom of listing

3. Select "cached text" at top of page.
