I know this is old and I would hope by now you figured it out but for any visitors to this thread. The answer is, you do not rank the iframe. You want to rank your domain and then the iframed website gets the leads.

This is a model of business I was trying to work with a couple of years ago.
I ranked a website for several kw and got the main kw at n.1, then I found a client and made a test with him, just put an iframe to the ranked page with his website on it.
Wanna know the result?
After a couple of days my website were nowhere to be found on Google.
I disabled the iframe, and my website ranked again... So it's obvious that G doesn't allow this to be done.
I would like to know if these guys found a way to achieve this without being penalized by G.
