I’m building an HTML site. I’ve followed just about all of the basic SEO rules, but do have a couple of pages within the site (not main, primary pages) that utilize frames.
I understand that frames can affect SERP rankings negatively, which is why I’ve kept the use of frames to an absolute minimum and have only used them on pages of lesser importance.
I’d like to prevent the search engines from indexing the FRAMED pages (but NOT the actual FRAME pages) so that they don’t show up as incomplete-looking or “dead end” pages in the SERP’s.
I’m planning on using the following tag to accomplish this:

My question is: Will this have any negative or adverse SERP ranking effects on the other non-frame pages that are meant to obtain the best possible SERP rankings?
Will use of this tag only in the framed pages negatively affect the site as a whole?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
