I'm only guessing, but a website that hosts only 9 lines of html and gets all its content by embedding a page from another website is probably a common spam pattern. Buy a hundred domains that misspell a high volume web destination, pack the embedded frame with juicy ads, maybe get enough click th

Bingo! You nailed it. It appears that hostgo makes secondary domains be implemented as frames: friam.org looks like: http://www.redfish.com/friam"; scrolling="auto" frameborder="no" border="0" noresize=""> I've seen DNS services make this a choice for subdomains. The usual choice is to use
