    How to optimize Flash sites?

    hi I am new to seo,

    Suggest me, how to optimize the Flash sites using <no script> tag and <object> tag. How far the CSS helps in achieving the successful optimization of flash sites?

    Hmmm, do you mean pure flash sites?

    All I know is that you can put alt tags on flash sites with your keywords in it

    Edited: BTW, Adobe made an SDK for Search Engines that can allow search engines index flash sites. Visit this to know more

    The best way to optimize flash sites is not to rely on flash being available at the client.

    What I mean by that is to make the page/site as best you can using just html, then use UFO (Unobtrusive Flash Objects) or other similar scripts to insert your flash after the page has loaded.

    It's not difficult, and the added bonus besides great SEO is that the pages are far more accessible to assistive technologies such as screen readers used by those who are blind/ have poor vision, and handheld devices such as cell phones and PDA's that often don't support flash.

    Of course I have a client that has an entire flash based site. So I was looking for some info/ideas.

    Has anyone had any success with UFO? This just reminds me of the NOFRAMES tag that everyone did back in the day.

    - Use flash as an image or design not as site content.
    - Use .swf format on flash sites.
    - Put alt tags for additional content. Use your keywords as an alt tag
    - Put a small amount of content, for spiderability.

    Most of the time seo for flash site is simple, since search engines cant read them is stron LINKING campaign...That site must be really worthed, because it will be so so and SO hard to promote it..
