How best to structure a Flash-based site for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) ?

    I want the site to do well in organic searches, which usually entails a unique page for each part, and links between parts, yet I don't want the site to load a new Flash swf each time the user goes to a new section of the site.

    (FYI, the site consists of about 8 pages only.)

    Thanks so much!

    For better user experience you should minimize flash as possible, it will slow down you site to load,

    How ever you should structure your site with dynamic putting flash content on onload event of page. So it does not stop google bot crawling your site and also would be good for readers of your site, as content should be loaded before the flash objects.

    All flash sites are a terrible idea from the SEO stand point. Although it probably looks nice, search engines don't understand a thing about them. Some flash is ok, but stay away from designing sites with nothing but flash.
