        Hi zball,

        I can't quite work out what you're trying to do sorry. An iFrame does not exist on your site, it exists on the site that you are directing to. When Google looks over your site, it basically sees an iFrame, and that it's a window to another site, and then moves along.

        So in short, no, you can't get Google to index the content of iFrames as your own.

        On a side note, do you have permission to be doing that? If that's not your content, I'd be very careful of doing what you're doing.

        If everyone could just put an iFrame to another site, then nobody would ever write content!!

          Thanks Josh,

          It is our material so no need to worry. But, if you were given the URL http://coggno.com/onlinetraining/safety-/other/lab-safety-1INde and asked how can this be indexed what would you do?

            By the way, I assume the domain we're talking about is actually: http://coggno.com/onlinetraining/safety-/other/lab-safety-1 (without the INde, because that says content cannot be found).

            If I were asked how it could be indexed I'd say it couldn't. There's no way sorry, because the content is never ON that page. To the end user in their browser it is, but technically it is just a window to another website.
