Optimizing Flash websites
There is a great debate among SEO people, regarding Flash website SEO. most of them still think that Flash website cant crawl well, in search engines .and the truth ,somewhere in the middle . they are 3 main things which any website owner should do, in order to gain good positioning in Google :
1. Content 2.Inbound link 3. relevant Meta Tags info .
in Html, its basically very easy, since most of Html websites require textual content, in Flash, you will find websites that don’t have any textual content, they look beautiful, and they are rich with pictures, animation and more, but since the search engine spider, read only textual content, those site rank will be very poor .
so , the first thing to do when building your own Flash website, is to add good and relevant text into each page you are designing:
1 . Write a good , short and relevant header, which is very similar to the title of the page or even the same .for instance, if you like to promote your website , so people who search for “Free MySpace layouts ” will get to your website , make sure that the title and the header of the text will be “Free MySpace layouts ” . this will be a good start for the the search engine crawler, to define your site as relevant for people who are searching for ” Free MySpace layouts” .
so, make sure , that your site content will be rich, and not only with picture .
2. Get lots of good and relevant links to your site ,and make sure the people who link to your site will use the write anchor text that relevant to you , so, it shall be like this one : Free MySpace layouts . more so, try to get links from relevant sites or blogs . again, the key is relevancy, the best thing to do , is to get links which comes from MySpace layouts sites .
So, in order to solve the “Flash” problem , you can use a Flash website builder, like Wix.com. if you look into the source of each page ,you will see the use of the “NoEmbed” element . The <noembed> element indicates text that should be used when an embedded object can’t be viewed. so, basically all the text that you are write will be visible to the search engine .
So, in order to summarize, we can say, that building a Flash website can be a” win win” situation for you .you can create a stunning Flash site , that looks great , along with his SEO capabilities .
