Ah, the joy of using frames.

Option 1: Minimise the damage caused by frames
1. Create a new <frameset> document for every combination of pages that
might be viewed at once.
2. Make sure each has suitable <noframes> content
3. Make sure all your links are target="_top" and point to a <frameset>
document.
4. Write a robots.txt that asks search engines to keep out of the directory
you keep the documents intended to be viewed in the frameset.
Then you might consider something like:
if(top.location == self.location){
top.location = "http://www.example.com/frameset_for_this_page/";
}
Option 2: Get rid of the frames and use preprocessing, server side
programing or simple includes to include the common content in each.
