Which is why you make use of the <noframes> tag.
Have a sitemap and link to the sitemap from within the <noframes> tag of your frame page.

Keywords aren't used so much these days as they're too easily fiddled.

Best way to be ranked is to have lots of content - text, not pictures, which can be read by the search engine and be linked to from other sites.

If those sites in turn are highly ranked then yours will be proportionally better.

apparently a html front page with info/text on it will be better listed than a flash index page

Best way as pete said was through links from other sites. Then web crawlers will pick them up.



Keywords and Description META tags are used by some search engines, but IIRC Google ignores them and instead relies on PageRank values and page content.

erm, submit it sometimes helps, but the best way is for your site to be linked from other sites setH

also it can take ages, it took 3 month for my site to be listed, and google went crazy with bandwidth
