What is frame forwarding?

[losangel27]

i have seen some seo companies using what i believe might be "frame forwarding". Anyone have any knowledge of how this works, and is it considered black hat?

I guess that they mean placing a site in a single frame that emcompases the entire screen, making it look like a normal site and then filling the <noframes> tag with all their SEO/ SPAM content.

If this is correct then it's pointless, worthless and will achieve nothing that good "on site" SEO could not.

I would not class this as "black hat" but as incompetent hat.

Must admit, this is just a guess, so I could be wrong...

Having said that there are some legitimate uses for this type of "frame forwarding" - quite a few hosting companies use it as an easy way to assosiate a domain name with a particular site without the user having any knowledge of DNS.

Let's coin the term, "asshat."

Forwarding with frames means, creating a page and reading contents of another site in frames. So it is not an actual forwarding. You can forward a domain to dozens of other sites simultaneously that way
