Search Engine Spiders have a difficult time crawling through a website that uses frames. Many Search Engine Spiders will receive the following message when visiting a website designed using frames:

‘Sorry! You need a frames-browser to view this site.’

If you can’t already tell, using frames can be just as bad as building a website using Flash. None of the content inside of your frames is indexable by the Search Engine Spiders - all they see is that error message. Unless you’re optimizing your website design for ‘Sorry! You need a frames-browser to view this site.’ you will not rank well in search engines that do not support frames.
