flash intro good or bad?

is having a flash intro good,bad or indifferent as it pertains to seo,search engine spiders and the such?

 

I would not make your index page be a flash intro. You do not want a flash intro to be the first thing a search engine encounters on your homepage. Although the search engines are getting better at crawling flash, they still prefer text pages, so if you want to have a flash intro I would link it off of a html version of your homepage.

I will say that some industries (rock bands, etc.) still utilize flash quite often and it is more accepted in certain industries compared to others.

 

if you can tag the flash properly and a good description that tell the search engine what it encountering that into page is not bad, make sure you put all proper key word some where in tag or in description.

 

In fact , flash is not friendly for search engine , so you need make meta tags

 

If you want good ranking positions on the search engines, don't use the flash in your website.

 

You can rank well with flash but it will take longer and probably more expensive. That being said try to have some text somewhere on the homepage with relevant text.

 

google seemed to flash and the picture is not very friendly

 

If I were you, I would go for a simple HTML index page without a flash intro. Adding a flash intro is not such a bad thing at all, you should do SEO in a better way thats all.

 

you can use it only if it redirect at the end to your money making site.. but even then might reflex lower success..

 

if you use flash in your site means your site speed will reduced slow so search engine crawler did not wait and visit your site

 

dnt use flash if u want to do seo of ur site.
