A couple specific articles, check out the one from useIT.

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9612.html

Actually, getting frames to be search engine friendly isn't so hard,
if you take the time to do it. The usability is still pretty awful
though just as that article from 1996 points out (although the
browsers in use have certainly changed).

I've seen some JavaScript that can make bookmarking work, or even a
server side method could do a similar job by passing parameters on
the URL and building the framesets programatically.
