    Hello,

    I know that flash website can cause problem in seo as the search engine get block by them.

    I think this issue is more concern to full flash website.

    is it the same for flash header ?

    Not a problem as long as your site has content that can be indexed

    The flash will make the page download speed much slower and this is not so great in Googles eyes. If you want Google search "page speed download affects SEO"

    NO,
    Flash header should be ignored as much as possible, It is not possible by many search engines to crawl it leaving some that have high performing Crawlers like Google can only crawl them. But still Not Suggested.

    Not a problem if there is any flash header. The main thing is content.

    in my opinion flash header can reduce seo point, because it cannot crawled by search engine spider

    Full flash site is a no no for SEO. Some flash on the site is fine, as long as there are other things there for the search engine to understand...

    that would depend on your goal. if you can justify the flash for some ROI purpose, then maybe. In general, why mess with it? it is slow to load and expensive to update.

    i don't see google using flash on their home page, try amazon.com, surely twitter - no?

    i wonder what they know

    if the site contains good content, the flash header is not so important

    Please note that all type of Flash doesn't friendly with SEO at all. If you using it as header logo, no problem. But I don't recommend you using that. Just simple a logo, it's good

    Really not a problem, I would ad some code outlining the name of the Flash header. I have a completely flash website and I am trying to optimize it and see how high I can get it. Right now I am on PR 2. Wish me luck.

    there are many suggestions here for flash header get problem by making header of flash , due to search engine not allowed flash website or watever , but i think that main thing is that your content , meta title , meta description , if you content is fresh and not copy down from somewhere and it makes informative for viewers then , flash header is not concern by google////

    Good luck indeed! I would be really interested to hear about this as a case study so do keep us updated. All of my experiences and everything I have read says to really avoid Flash at all costs (from an SEO perspective) but please do share if you find differently!

    Until I hear otherwise I will stay away from Flash and advise the same... just don't have the time to test it myself at the moment but would be very curious to hear about your experiences!

    It will effect some because it make the page download speed much slower and that's not good for seo point of view. If possible, avoid flash.
