    This is not a problem. Bots may not be able to crawl your content but you can easily be on top for your keywords if links having anchor with your keywords point at your site. This is very important. Pokemon's official site is completly in flash but still they are on TOP for pokemon :) Get more backlinks with keyword anchor. By the way nice site indeed

    Can help with poseidon's suggestion. He is right. 1000 +links with the right anchor text and PR of 4 or more PM if you can see the value

    Well having a total Flash site always hurts your rankings make sure that you re design it in HTML if you want to get what you deserve.

    Google is indexing SWF files, and Flash 8 allows you to input meta data... Flash limitations ito SEO are fading fast!

    Simply because you can add meta data to Flash does NOT indicate anything of the sort. To prove the point, go to ANY competitive keyword and look for a Flash based site in the Top 10.

    We may (eventually) get to a rich media capable bot, but it is not there now or soon, IMHO.

    I do like the graphics and rich media of sites BTW...I just think that a prudent business person building a site has to go with the one that can compete in the real world of SEO today. 3 years from now may be different.

    Best;

    Eric

    I have marketed a flash site just fine...

    To create a duplicate will help, but its not a neccesity.

    Google: Search: Lacrosse camp

    millonlacrosse.com # 3

    Total Flash page. No content saying lacrosse at all on that page.
