I have read that frames makes life harder for search engines. Therefor
I have built my website without frames.
To the visitor it looks like they have a frame though. I have an area
on the left containing links to external pages. But since I avoided
frames I have copied this area with the links to every page on my site.
This is where I believe I could have a problem with SEO. I guess search
engines like Google consider this to be duplicate content, and since
some of my pages contains very little text, the duplicate content rate
is sky high.
Does anyone have a recomendation what I should do about this to NOT
have my PR penalized?
