We have a website in which most of the pages hosted on eforms built on iframes which has single header because of which people who ever clicks on any link, it opens a new page with # in the url because of which none of the pages are being indexed by google.


Any link we click on the website is loaded a iframe webpage since # is appearing in the URL hence search engines are not crawling any of the pages except home page.

Shortened url for reference: https://goo.gl/fT9EBj


Can someone please suggest how to make it indexed by google and rank better for the pages.

  • Get rid of the iframes.

    The technical explanation would explain how to set those urls to, well, real urls.

    And it would depend on your server....

    The problem is, it is a back and forth method, and google most likely will not get to the end result.

    An easy example, is that symbols after a website are ignored, and everything after them, a far as things go.

    You can type in any domain, like warriorforum.com, and add things like #,!,?, etc. and they will be ignored....you get sent to the homepage...and that is what google "sees," most likely.

    warriorforum.com/?=whatever will send you to the homepage.

    Get rid of the iframes. Get something else. Something seo friendly.

    Technically, it can be done. But you need a lot of mind power like amazon....

  • Yep, I agree. Get rid of the iframes but it looks like your website is huge and have lots of pages. That means implementing the solution of getting rid of iframes may be as hard as migrating your website to a new platform, like Wordpress.

    If I'm correct, what paulgl was suggesting is to deliver a static version of the iframed pages, which is acceptable to search engines such as Google. This was also used to be the issues of flash websites before and serving static html version of the pages works but still, it will be a huge work I can imagine.

    Best of luck
