I thought as much. I know very little html but used to dabble with flash quite a bit. I would guess that you would either have to make a combo site, i.e. flash intro and maybe the first static page and then the rest would have to be html. I guess you could also try and update the content in the html page in which you embed the flash but that would be a bit silly as it would be like doing the work twice. I guess it all depends on what you are building the site for.

I am no expert on this but I understand that flash is – out of the box -pretty much invisible to the search enginess – remember google can’t “read” images or video – it can only understand the associated tags – particularly the alt-tiltle tag. There are ways to make flash more search engine friendly but you’d need to find someone with some more specialist knowledge than me !

Lissie, are flash sites more difficult to rank than blogs? I am asking because I do have some understanding of how a blog can be optimized with content and everything but I am completely uncertain as to how it would work for a flash site.

For anyone looking for cutting edge website page ranking and design, Lissie is the lady to come to. She took my site for my log home company and reworked it so that performs well for SEO benefits and also she has given me a game plan for expanding the content and marketing possibilities. After spending a ton of money with other “website designers” that got me nowhere, Lissie stepped in and turned my site around. She is outstanding in her field and abreast of the changes in Google as they arise.
Thanks Lissie! And look forward to working with you more in the future!
