search engines & optimisation

Hi,
I am looking after a website at http://www.crackerjackpromotions.co.nz/ and
my client wants some search engine optimisation done on her site. I built it
2 years ago and she was not bothered about seo at the time as she was very
keen on this graphic heavy design, which I explained was not search engine
friendly.

I am now trying to do a few basic things for her but one thing I am not sure
about is this - she hosts the site on a homepages option (ie its cheaper)
with www.ihug.co.nz so her url is actually
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~nglaser/crackerjack/ . And if you go there and
view source it just shows some frameset stuff and not the actual code for
the webpage. (the website has no frames)

Anyway what i need to know is, why the frameset code and does this mean that
search engines cannot actually find the 'real' code and index the site?

And while I'm at it any other SE tips that anyone has for this site feel
free to share:-) I just had time out of work to play Mum and I'm feeling
rusty around the brain cells.

Thanks in advance for any help

Karen

I see the code, no frameset here (using Firefox).

And while I'm at it any other SE tips that anyone has for this site feel

That home page won't entice the SEs, it's mostly images.

Nadia thanks for your reply - much appreciated,

I found that you can view the correct code when you go to the url
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~nglaser/crackerjack/ but not if you go to
http://www.crackerjackpromotions.co.nz/ (firefox & IE) and it's the latter
that I've submitted to SE's - does this make a difference to the indexing?

Would my client get better rankings if she wasn't on the homepages url?
Also is there a technical term for this, where the domain name is not the
real url? Please enlighten me!

TIA

KAren
