Flash and Search engines?

    With a flash site there is this client I have. The main content doesn’t seem to influence the rankings though a couple of pages have been indexed by Google. The text on the website is readable is what they have been claiming. However, it is only the text in the flash movies that seems to be readable.

    Did you have a question, or are you just sharing this information?

    If the site is all in flash and there is no text, this is not great for SEO. YOu say a couple of pages have been indexed. View the cache of each page to see if any text appears.

    It's very helpful to have some relevant text in addition to clash. Also set the right title tags, also very important. But even more important, you can rank a flash site with enough powerful links that have the correct anchor text.

    Using of flash is not recommended if you want to have a search engine friendly website. Because content of flash items can not be read by search engines.
    I suggest you to use of another technology for making your website beautiful. Or if you insist on having flash items in your website, use of flash in only some parts of it
