Frames are not advisable when building a search-engine friendly site since the content inside on it is not readable by search engines. A website is said to be not fully optimized using frames. It can be ranked top for particular search terms but if you remove the frames, it will surely get more organic traffic from SEs since it's content will be recognized by them.
