URL Masking

**Miz** · 05-10-2005, 06:59 AM

Hello PPL,

Hopefully someone can help here, a site that I created masks its original URL with our selected one, whenver I look at the source code this is what I see, (I have changed a few details such as the site name and real URL for the purpose of this example.)

<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="description" content="">
<META NAME="keywords" content="">
<TITLE>site name</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://ourrealurl.co.uk" SCROLLING="AUTO" NAME="bannerframe" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
site name
<P>
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://ourrealurl.co.uk">http://www.oururlmask.biz</A></DIV>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>

This is not what our head tags look like, we suspected this to be an action of the URL masking, we decided to use a Break out of Frames Javascript but should this be implemented before the meta tags to allow our tags to show through? or can this be placed safely after the tags but still allowing them to be seen?

Ok, hopefully this one is more understandable....

Our real URL is http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk
When visiting this page viewing the source produces the desired results including all meta tags.

We have an alternate domain name (http://www.leadsdirect.biz) that points to the same site, but when viewing the source this is what we see

<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="description" content="">
<META NAME="keywords" content="">
<TITLE>site name</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk" SCROLLING="AUTO" NAME="bannerframe" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
site name
<P>
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.leadsdirect.f9.co.uk">http://www.leadsdirect.biz</A></DIV>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>

This is not what our head tag contains. We are using a break out of frmes scrip to prevent this happening but should the script come before or after the meta tags to allow our source for the original URL to be viewed.

This may work, but this is bad for SEO
