Site not being picked up by google – redirect/frames issue?

I have a simple web site at [url]www.greenbankpool.co.uk[/url] that shows opening times etc for a local open-air swimming pool I help run. The site’s a couple of years old, but has never been indexed by Google & I could do with some help figuring out what I need to do.

The domain name is registered via web-at-work.com, who redirect [url]http://www.greenbankpool.co.uk[/url] to [url]http://www.btinternet.com/~greenbankpool/Gbank/Index.htm[/url]

Both pages look identical in IE, but when I view the source for greenbankpool.co.uk I see that it is generated by web-at-work to do the redirect, using a title, description and keywords that I’ve entered on their control panel. So its different to the source I see for btinternet.com/~greenbankpool/Gbank/Index.htm, which is what I wrote.

I understood that frames might be the problem, so I used an old non-frame version of a Mosaic browser to compare the two and I get very different results. For [url]http://www.btinternet.com/~greenbankpool/Gbank/Index.htm[/url] I see the non-frame message that I wrote. Mosaic & [url]www.greenbankpool.co.uk[/url] gives me a load of web-at-work advertising!! Even though the web-at-work source code should handle noframes – I can’t see what’s going wrong. You can see the two results in Mosaic here:
[url]http://www.btinternet.com/~greenbankpool/Gbank/Mosaic.doc[/url]

I suspect this is the reason the site isn’t getting indexed by Google, but I’m not sure what I need to do about it (short of rewriting the site without frames).

Thanks for any help you can give to point me in the right direction, Dave

Yeah it is most likely thanks to this so called doman name registration service. It would probably be best to get your name from a reputable service and point the name to your host as normal. You should pop up on google in a flash. ?
