Usage of Frames within a Website

[kasiddiqi]

Hi Guys,

I came across a client's website that was using frames, but the frames weren't showing data from another website, but other internal pages of the same site. 1 Page shows duplicate content, fetched from rest of the pages in the website.

What would be the best solution for this?

Hi Kamran,

For a quick solution, you can go in for rel=canonical implementation that will take care of the duplicate content issue. Here is how you implement rel=canonical: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en

Here is another good information about the mistakes regarding rel=canonical implementation:

rel=canonical implementation will be lot easier to go with and will fix the issues at hand. However, if you look in the long run, getting rid of the frames will be an ideal way to go with.

Hope it helps.

Best,
