Creating a non-frame site sounds like a can of worms.
I wrote my own spider that would look for the frame tags and then
index those pages (not just 'a href'). So it is certainly possible
to index framed sites.
But if your framed site is framed so that the nav bar is always
there, it will not be there when a person lands from an search
engine. But I am sure that all framed sites have already developed a
good solution for that.
I am going to resubmit my site in question.
I will also check the visitation of spiders and see where they go and
when they stop etc.
Will let you all know.
