Sorry if this is too simple a question for experienced programmers. I'm a school librarian and have taught myself with Dreamweaver to create a school web site at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> at school is pleased with the site, the problem is that none of the search engines can find it. I've submitted to the major ones by hand and put meta tags in the head of my frameset containing description and helpful keywords. I've made sure my pages have sensible titles. All to no avail.<br><br>I've read on the Internet that it's my frameset that is preventing the search engines from indexing the info on my site.&nbsp;&nbsp;Should I create a plain non-framed 'enter' page to combat this?
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never heard of this problem, but then again I've never like to use frames.&nbsp;&nbsp;I much prefer the use of tables, Style Sheets and Server Side Include instead.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But if what you say is true, then yes, a plain html version entry point would solve your problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just make sure that you mention a lot about your site in that first page, since those will be your main keywords.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, don't forget that even though the search engines say it may take a week to index your site, it might in fact take a month.<br><br> <p>Andre Vandal<br><a href=mailto:dezign@canada.com>dezign@canada.com</a><br><a href= Dezign's Sites</a><br>A bit of eveything Celestial
