To redirect a visitor from an optimized "doorway" page you simply put following script in your section.

and replace index.htm with page you want to redirect visitor to. (script from RB Associates)

The other aspect here is that for search engines which only index your home page, you would need to submit each of your site content pages separately. If one of these content pages is indexed and found in a search, visitor will only see contents page and will not see rest of your site, something you definitely don't want to happen ! This brings us to next and maybe most important disadvantage of using frames.

3)Frames can make it difficult for you to direct people to a particular page on your site. This is especially so if you want to use email to send a visitor to a particular page that has details of an affiliate program for example. If you don't send them to your index.htm page they will not be able to see rest of your site, only contents of page you have directed them to.

4)Frames within frames can be confusing, so you have to pay special attention to your hyperlinks when you are designing your pages. For example if one of links in your main or contents frame redirects a visitor back to index.htm page, result will be a mess unless hyperlink specifies target frame as "top" (eg: ) to prevent index page opening inside contents page.

Learning how to use frames is easy once you have mastered concept that a hyperlink can lead to a page in its own frame (TARGET="_self") default option, or in another frame in frameset eg:(TARGET="main").

All in all, whether you use frames or not is a personal decision, but you need to aware of advantages and disadvantages before you design your site.

The company that you select to do encoding and compression of your media should be able to provide you with good guidelines for your original production. For example, we always tell our clients that too much movement on a videotape will cause blurring and "smeariness" when video is streamed. (As bandwidth continues to improve, many restrictions that exist today will disappear.) Your streaming vendor is best source of information regarding tape formats and equipment required to create original production. Streaming media is already being used effectively by a number of industries and organizations that are striving to stand out in crowded Internet business world. Streaming media still has its limitations especially in area of delivering full- screen, full-quality video. But most of big players on Internet, even those in head-to-head competition for fast-growing streaming audience, know that as bandwidth continues to improve, streaming is inevitable.
