Flash sites still will not perform on search engines!

"The options for Flash sites today, though, remain limited. Shaw and Markel agreed that sites should avoid Flash if search engine optimization is a top priority and if the multimedia and interactivity features of Flash are not necessary."

This article features a group that is trying to "reform" Flash sites so that search engines will index them, but they are fighting an uphill battle. As the article says, "It's a trust issue at this point. The search engines need to trust that the content they're searching is the same as the Flash [sites] are displaying."

Our advice remains the same, don't use Flash on your front page or on pages that you need the search engines to find. Reserve it for pages buried in your site that you use to display specific material that your users will want to see AFTER they have come to your site and decided that it meets their needs!
