Do we still need to avoid using frame/iframe for good SEO?
I have a html page that has a map of a country with lots of dots indicating location of companies through out the country.
The dot's html link code includes the hash-bang + six characters.
When the user clicks on a dot, the following happens: 1) A modal-dialog box displays an iFrame containing another page (from same site). 2) With the dialog box in open state, the "parent's" url changes (adds a hash-bang + six characters) which the user can use to bookmark the page with the dialog-box. When the dialog box closes, the url reverts to the original url.
Am using jQuery and qTip for displaying the modal-dialog box and iframe content (no Ajax is used).
Would the seachbots search/index the content in the iframe?
