A
search engine may have difficulty ranking your site, because
the search engine’s Spiders* may not be able to index
information that resides within the frames on your site. Basically,
spiders hate confined spaces. You have to give a search engine
spider a good reason to crawl through your frame, because
they have an uneasy relationship with framed sites. Many spiders
can only see the top-level frame code. It's almost impossible
for the spider to collect any useful information about your
framed site unless you include links inside your NOFRAMES
tag. With nothing to see and do, the spider leaves your site
without indexing it. As a solution, supply plain html text
with links to internal pages (without frames) in your backend
code, so bots can spider your content and index your site.

Bots, also known as Crawlers or Spiders, are search engine
programs that go out on the internet, follow links, and read
through the pages in order to index the site in a search engine.
