Organizing Your Site with Frames and layouts - true?

In sometime ago, it was said that "Using frames is a good way to organize your Website". I though this is a thing of the past. So I was kind of surprised to see this type of an article recently.

"Organizing Your Site with Frames and layouts"

There are many discussions about why we should not use frames in Websites. You can not get your Web page searched by major search engines. Search engines do not recognize the keywords of your Website when it is managed by frames. This is critical and fatal for your small Internet business. Design is not the first priority for Web business in today's standard. Search engine friendly is the first thing to consider.

One big advantage to use frames is it's easiness of navigation. When you set a side bar on your site, visitors can easily navigate any page they need. That's why many Websites are still attached with old-fashioned frames. CSS layouts can replace frames/tables. With CSS layouts, we can make user-friendly, easy-to-navigate Webpages.

Professional Web designer/developers are all aware of the importance and versatility of CSS. I think frames are only used in special occasions or in private Websites these days.
