Usage :    Links to the Site- URL Exchange Many search engines, including Google, will return your web site higher in search results by the amount of web sites that link to your site, also the higher the profile of the site that links to yours, the higher your listing is in search results again.  Site Using Frames It's very difficult to get a good ranking on search engines if your Web site uses frames. The problem is that search engines do not index framed Web sites well. Actually, the search engines do such a poor job of indexing frames. If you must use frames on your Web site for some reason, make sure you use the NoFrames tag so that search engines can find some text to index. The NoFrames tag is a tag specifically for search engines that cannot read the actual pages in your frame set.
