Thank you so much for another great article. Where else could anyone get that sort of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’m having a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

Put your main keywords at the top of your website because searchengines judge words at the beginning of a website more relevant than words in the center or at the bottom of a webpage

My site was no where in the search engines, but by following the basics like these, I am now very much visible on search engines like google, bing, and yahoo. I really like to appreciate your contribution.

Using Flash is fine if you have a developer who knows how to use it in conjunction with SEO. I do not think the standard Flash designer would know all the techniques required.

For instance, XML can be used to get around SEO for Flash nav.

The nav should be built dynamically from the start, so if the site does evolve, all you need to edit is an XML file.

Also deep linking can be done for use with FWD/BACK and bookmarking Flash.

If it were so bad, car sites would not use it at all, yet there are car site entirely made in Flash. Don’t tell me they completely avoid SEO.

I do agree that Flash becomes an issue for mobile, but then again I also believe that if youw ant people to use your content while mobile, a separate site should be served containing content that is more useful while mobile.

It is a toolbox… use the appropriate tools from the start to best fit your needs, plan for SEO from the start, and you should be fine whether you use CSS or Flash.

Flash can be a great design tool for the site but don’t forget this is an article about SEO. Currently search engines can’t read with in a flash file. So what you do in flash won’t be crawled.

I disagree that most web designers use flash for navigation. I haven’t met one in years who does.
Flash has too many usability restrictions (plugins, mobile, etc) and is so cumbersome to change and edit, should the site evolve (which it should)

Some lovely suckerfish on ‘roids dropdowns are all you need!

Also, as an SEO tip: match title tags, URL and the h1 to the pages content. This gives the page a clear theme and thus more relevance.
