Hi,

I was just on a site and noticed that when I clicked to other pages, the URL remained the same - the main URL. All my pages show up as main URL/pluspage.htm. This is the site...Delicious Dog Diets

How do you make each page appear as the home page URL like they did?

Thanks.

Sylvia

    It's simple. You need to use iframe for your site, can view their source code to know about what they did
    <frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
    <frame src="http://their-site[dot]com/?hop=langba" frameborder="0" />
    <frame frameborder="0" noresize />
    </frameset>
    Hope it's helpful to you!

      Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't design web pages using anything fancy, like frames. Just text, images and boxes.

        You could also use iframe, especially if you are using HTML5.

    If you want to rank or need to rank with search engines.

    DO NOT USE IFRAMES - POISON FOR GOGGLE AND OTHER SEARCH ENGINE SPIDERING UNLESS YOU ALSO OFFER THE ORIGINAL CONTENT WITHOUT FRAMES:

    An iframe cannot be crawled the same as on-page content. This can be damaging to the site if the information users are looking for is contained within the iframe. Though that content will appear on the page to users, it is likely that it will not be crawled. This means that keyword-rich content within an iframe cannot help your site ranking. If you are using an iframe to display the content on your pages, it will be much harder to rank in Google. Web crawlers may be able to enter an iframe however, once they have begun crawling the iframe they may not exit the iframe to crawl the rest of the site. This means that even though there are other pages on your site, that they might not be indexed. This could result in a fewer pages being indexed by Google.


    In my case I use iframes for scripts and useabilty but also offer the original content and links to that original content so that those sections of the site are spidered - so if you want to use iframes also offer the original content.

    A Solution:
    If you are using iframes to display the information on your site, there are solutions that are more SEO friendly. The iframe lets you use content from another source. Search engines can see where this source is so they don’t consider it duplicate content, but they will give the credit for this great website to the original source.

      Yes, I heard that years ago - stay away from frames cz of spidering issues.

        There's at least one other way to do this beside using iframes (and I agree that you shouldn't use iframes for this purpose if you care about search engines).

        You can use jQuery / Ajax (see this) to dynamically display another page's contents on the current page when a "link" is clicked. This will have the same practical effect as using an iframe, without having to use an iframe. (in other words, the URL displayed in your browser's address bar would always be the same).

        You can also use .htaccess to display a specific URL in your browser's address bar, while it redirects to another URL. For example, your browser's address bar could display...

        www.YourWebsite.com

        ... but the actual page it would display could be something like...

        www.YourWebsite.com/SomePage.html

        ^ But with the .htacess method, each URL that's displayed in the address bar can only correspond to 1 other page, so not sure if that's what you're looking for.

        But the jQuery / Ajax method would definitely do the trick, if you wanted the URL shown in the address bar to always be the exact same.
