Manual Frame BreakToday, I’m going to tell you how you can convert visitors into daily readers using iframes to access your blog. This trick will break your visitors out of an iframe and will just display your page in the user’s browser. This way you’ll be able to convert your visitors into daily readers if they are accessing your site from an iframe. With this you can prevent your site from being included externally through an iframe, avoid being framed by any other web site.

1. Don’t know what’s an iFrame?

IFrame (from inline frame) is an HTML element which makes it possible to embed another HTML document inside the main document.

The size of the IFrame is specified in the surrounding HTML page, so that the surrounding page can already be presented in the browser while the IFrame is still being loaded. The IFrame behaves much like an inline image and the user can scroll it out of view. On the other hand, the IFrame can contain its own scroll bar, independent of the surrounding page’s scroll bar.

2. How do you break those iframes?

If you own a blog with Wordpress as the blogging platform, you can simply install the Break Out Of Frames plugin. Once activated this plugin will ensure that your site is not framed by any other site.
If you own a blog with different blogging platform or if you own a site you can use the following code to break the frames:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
	<!–
		if (top.location!= self.location) {
			top.location = self.location.href
		}
	//–>
</script>

The code mentioned above should be placed after the <body> tag. If a visitor has disabled javascript in his/her browser, the code mentioned above will not have any effect. The good thing is, that most of the people keep javascript enabled. :D

3. How will this trick help me?

This trick can be helpful if someone is trying to get your site banned from Adsense or such programs by adding your site to auto/manual surf sites, the people who’ll try to surf your site from an iframe will be taken directly to your site. Also the people who do manual or auto-surfing might even like your site/blog and become a daily visitor, though i don’t advice to add your sites to manual or auto-surf sites. If you ever try, do let me know. I’d like to know the results. :)

If you get visitors from Google Images(Google images uses iframes), you can convert them into daily readers if you’ll be able to convince them. :)

    Problems with using an iframe breaker:
    1) Instant rejection from traffic rotators (of course, who uses traffic rotators anyway? :p)
    2) Site cannot be visited by proxy unless JavaScript is disabled
    3) JavaScript is needed
    4) Sites like About.com will not link to you. :p
    5) Sites using IFrames to frame your site will not even show your sites using iframe breakers, since you are breaking their bit of advertising.

    This script would only be useful if a site is showing your site in a 1px by 1px iframe.
