A website made entirely of flash is not seo friendly. This is because the content containted in flash cannot be read by Search Engines / it is coded / This does not mean that flash websites cannot rank well / if they are nice and people link to them they will/
google reads text from flash content. if you don't know )) but surely we don't rely on it. Everithing important should be in text.
Dear SEO Friend, In many cases or meeting the demand of client with least knowledge of SEO, we feel helpless to indulge flash and since flash carries the visual affects and specially American people love such animated objects and hate too much readings online (not all), flash is the alternative option for Beauty and Faison niche. With limited spaces, we put lots of animated images to express lots of things or products and here we can say the advantage of flash……but how to make it search engine friendly? Do following cares when you deploy flash in your pages; 1-Always give your keywords as the images names for alt tags. 2-You can give two keywords in a single image name or alt tag. 3-You can load a transparent page beneath the flash, with fully targeted keywords, terms, metas, and seo purposes contents, user is still unable to see this type of contents but SE can. 4-While working with seo friendly flash, you have to choose the most wanted and targeted keywords because you have limited areas to fix them so be very careful in keywords selections. 5-What matters if a flash site is not getting required ranks, many html based sites even fail…….a proper seo campaign is required to make your site popular amongst the desired niche then farther orbits subsequently. I hope you better understand my point of view. Digital Contents. Fixmehealthy blogspot com
Hello Friend, I think that Flash sites are not cached by Google soon because search engine do not want to read more about coding it comes then if find different types things then search engine goes away soon and do not like to come again.
Little flash in your webiste and you do it right will not hurt SEO. People want good designs in these days and first impression is last impression. So establish your look so that people can see you are proffesional company.
Not Really But You Do need Good Professional Looking Pages! Besure to include a Sitemap in the Footer of your Homepage!
Around June or July of 2008 Adobe announced that they were working w/ Yahoo! and Google basically giving them the specifications of how to read .SWF files (Flash files) so that they could do a better job indexing Flash. Google and the other engines have been indexing Flash for some time prior to that using home-grown utilities to parse the SWF files looking for text. But knowing the actual specifications will make it easier to get to the content. Unfortunately, even with the release of the Adobe Flash specifications to the major engines, it will likely be more than a decade before such sites begin to rank well in the search engines (I heard those words come straight out of Matt Cutts' mouth at Pubcon 2008). He also said that an HTML site will ALWAYS outrank a Flash site even when they do get good at indexing flash. If you stop and think about about it... you would understand why. The search engines have been indexing HTML for over a decade. EVERYTHING at the major search engines is built around indexing HTML and NOT Flash. Their index or database uses URLs as its primary key to look up a particular "web page". Every webmaster tool they offer is built around indexing HTML and URLs. Their ranking algorithm is based around elements in HTML (<title>, <h1>, <h2>s, <a>s, <strong>/<b>, etc.) Every backend utility they have is built around HTML. They've had a long time to perfect dealing with good and bad HTML. Also, search engines have typically always ignored anchors in URLs (the '#' character appended on the end of a URL followed by some label that appears somewhere in that page's HTML). Sites that are pure Flash typically get indexed under a single URL (the home page). So even if they could index the "subpages" of a Flash presentation, the search engines' index likely has no easy way to jump straight to a particular link within the Flash. I f you have a Flash presentation and all of your various navigation links to your 100 different "pages" are embedded in the Flash, even if Google/Yahoo! CAN read the flash, you now have 100 pages of content getting indexed under a single URL. This would be like taking 100 pages that are targetting 100 different keyword phrases and dumping ALL of that content onto your home page. Now you only have 1 keyword rich URL to work with... 1 <title> element to work with... 1 <h1> to work with... And anyone who knows anything about SEO will tell you it's much easier to get 1 URL to rank for 1 keyword phrase than it is to get 1 URL to rank well for 100 different keyword phrases. Yes there are things you can do to make your Flash rank a "little" better. But in general, if you care about organic traffic then I would highly recommend that you avoid Flash like the plague. Personally, I think it was developed to give offline (TV) advertising agencies a way to create online advertising without having to really learn online technologies like HTML and server-side scripting. Using Flash forces your site to be pretty much 100% dependent on backlinks to rank... there is virtually no such thing as on-page or on-site SEO that can been done to make substantial increases in the way a Flash site ranks. If you want to be found in the SERPs anytime in the next decade, build your sites using HTML... NOT Flash.
