Meta tagging a framed site

[DamianD]

May be a dumb question, but what is the lowdown on meta tagging?

Do I need to tag every page, or just the index page, and why do sites have content tags within the meta tags (and what should they be)?

Cheers,

In my experience with frames and google meta tag every single page with the title, description and keywords. You can also include the following tag to TRY and persuade search engines not to list the other pages.
<meta name="robot" content="noindex,nofollow">

I found a Javascript routinue which allows you to control which page is the refering page so you can make sure users go the right way through your frames. Change index.html to suit whatever the order is.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
var requiredfrom = "index.html"; // required prev. page
if (document.referrer.indexOf(requiredfrom) == -1) {
window.location=requiredfrom;
}
// End -->
</script>


Having done it once personally I would avoid frames unless it is absolutely nessercary.
