      Hi All

      Basically what we are wanting to do is insert an iframe with some text on onto a lot of different pages on one website. Does google crawl the content that is in an iFrame?

      Thanks

        Google Does crawl Iframe but it attributed the content inside of it to the source.

        So if you placing on page A content from page B. Google will Crawl and Attribute the content to Page B. (so no duplication)

          Hi Laurence

          Google tries to take the iFrame as associate it with the page it's on (in effect trying to view it as a single page) - so in their ideal world, you should look at the page and the iFrame all as one page and treat it accordingly.

          In reality though, they don't always accomplish what they want, so you might be OK.

          What I would do is check your cache and text only cache and see if they're caching everything all as one page.

          Here's their documentation on iFrames
