Sorry, vague, sorry, I forgot you know all about all things Internet. But lets not all revisit Pinkberry again.
I dare you to present 2 real reasons how iFrames don't effect SEO. Also 'SEO' is more expansive that just Google.
Yes, Google will see the content of an iFrame, however, it is a different url and be viewed as a link. So the frame content may not be part of the indexed content for that particular page.
As well, as the iFrame content will be indexed separately using that URL, the content of the frame may show up in searches and be displayed without it's parent page, and thus, possibly, in incorrect context.
You can work around it by using tags like "longdesc" to help the search engines understand what may be in the iFrame in context to the parent page, but really, why? You can use a simple server side include from any language so that the content is actually embedded within the html page that is served and not just linked. You can contain the content like an iframe within a div using CSS.
If you love iFrames, all the power to you, but there are arguably better ways to achieve the same thing.
