Are You Still Using Frame Sets?

If you are using frame sets (framed pages), you may be losing commissions.

Here is a portion of an email that I received from one of my merchant partners.

There are still some affiliates who use frame sets to generate their revenue.

When a frame set is used, we cannot track referals to you which means that you won’t get credit for sales or leads generated. There’s nothing we can do about this. Our recommendation is that you not use frame sets.

For those who don’t know what a frame set is, a Frame Set is a way to display more than one web page in the browser window simultaneously. The window is divided into rectangular columns and rows, called Frames, where each Frame contains a different web page.

Here is an example of a framed page at HTML Goodies.

Take heed and don’t get framed!

Cheers,
Ros
