    I've heard something about having a full flash website is never a good idea becuase they are not search engine friendly, but are ALL flash sites, not search engine friendly, or just some?

    search engine spiders cannot crawl all-flash websites because there are little to no text to read. but there are other ways to promote your website and have them ranked. build links. massive links.

    cheers :)

    You have a point, but there are flash websites that are SE friendly because of alt tags. The problem is, there is less content.

    Flash websites are annoying to the user as well. Music is a no-no, graphics-heavy animations are just as bad. Also, users enjoy the ability to open links in new windows if desired, the ability to save images and the ability to copy text.

    Not to mention unique URLs.

    You can just copy the content that's in the flash site and past it beneath the flash so it can't be seen but search engines will find it.

    2 questions:

    1 - Ok, I got the flash problems in SEO but how can I put an alt text tag for an swf file ??? Is the title of the file enough for SEO??

    2 - I was told to put the H1 tag in the first content of my website, but it happens to be an swf file, the menu file......so i need to know if it does sense to put an swf inside of the h1 tag? How it can be done without putting a real text in its place or denying the SEO tips??

    Please, get me an answer...
