Confused

I have been rading about allinanchor: searches or link: searches to find out your backlinks. I know I have backlinks but no results are found. I tried google(iknow only a few show up) and yahoo and got no docs found in both cases. What did I do wrong?

Hmm! In a frameset using noframes and then spamming with hidden text in the top frame. Hope you're not expecting great results.

Oh and being annoying by setting my browser to full screen.

How not to get repeat visitors!

I knew the hidden div was bad(should replace it with a sitemap) but isn't the noframes a nonspam tag? I know that not all browsers support frames so that would give those viewers a way to access my site.

What would you advise to keep the same effect, the red menu border, and not use frames? I know it's possible with ssi but just not how.

I got rid of the js to resize the screen, deleted the hidden text (both locally as of right now)

I have one goal with this website and that's to rank higher than airabovewater.com.

Since I already knew frames were bad I have been submitting my mainFrame page CliffJumpingCalifornia.htm to search engines. Am I doing anything right? wrong?

Your input and help is of benefit to me and I thank you

The noframes tag is perfectly ok and the way it should be used.

submitting a page will do you absolutely no use at all the pages are already indexed but as PIPs

this is why frames are bad. Start at here and try to find the home page.

And it's very easy to have the same look without frames. http://www.candsdesign.co.uk/demo/12ft/

I should also make your links look like links and don't hide them in the content until a mouseover, it's very poor for usability and won't endear you to visitors.

Thanks, I'll be busy tonight but I'm glad!
