Using Flash

Although search engines like FAST/AlltheWeb are making great strides in indexing Flash content, most search engine spiders are still unable to properly index Flash content. Search engine spiders are designed to read text and ignore images, so placing the majority of your site's content in a Flash file leaves most search engines without much content to read and use to determine your site's ranking.

The easiest way to solve this problem is to provide the Flash movie or file as an optional link off of an HTML-based web page. This allows the search engines to spider the content of the page without trying to work around a Flash file.

If you absolutely must have a Flash intensive page, one work around is to place the Flash file in a page with a 100% frameset and optimize the < noframes > tag with textual content for the search engine's spider to read.
