I'll remake it in an earlier version of flash so you shouldnt have much trouble gimme a few minutes ---------------------------------------- From: "Rick Faircloth" Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 4:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Search engine question > 1. open up flash I mentioned earlier that I don't have Flash, so I was wondering if you could give me your little 1x1 movie already complete? I would need to start at step 5...embed :o) And since I don't, at this point, use Flash in any of my sites, it wouldn't matter if they had the right version or not, I would still want to just send them on to the homepage of the site from the "bot" page. And I assume the bot page would be filled with keywords and phrases, headlines, links, site map, etc?

So that the bots can whip right through it and gooble up all the content and give you a nice fat score! By making it just basic code will help it load really fast and redirect without the visitor seeing it but the bots will still get all the content. The other thing to remember is to have a nice lil flash redirect script as well in case the viewer doesnt have the required flash version, which is more an issue now with the advent of flash forms requiring flash player 7. If you need that I have a great flash embed script that both validates and shows a nice message if its not there. dave ---------------------------------------- From: "Rick Faircloth" Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 7:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Search engine question Hey, Dave... Since I'm working on SEO with my clients, but don't do Flash, would you like to share that "lil flash swf" with me to use, or is that something you prefer to keep "in-house"? Getting good index page content without blowing away the visitor with "word overload" has always been a challenge. One thing I do a lot of is have the client use "Announcements" on the index page. That way, keywords and phrases can be repeated often in the announcement titles and text, but because the repetition is under separate announcements, the reader's "information sensibilities" aren't offended. The reader can scan the Announcement Titles and decide whether to read the Announcement or not, but the spider eats it all... I let the client add business-relevant announcements and part of my service is to keep an eye on them and keep them optimized with keywords and phrases that need to be repeated frequently...

Also use your image alts to give more info about the content because the engines will pick that up as page content. You also have enough java on there to run NASA ;) Content is king and you don't have any there so I'd start to figure out a way to get it there. One thing I used to do is make the index page and just fill it with content and then under that have a lil flash swf that redirects depending on if they have flash or not. And what that does is the engine bots will spyder the pages content and since the redirection is within the swf the bots won't pick up the redirect and penalize you. So when a visitor comes to the page it immiediately redirects them to a diff page and they never see the "real" index page thats been formated for content only. www.denveralumnaegpb.org has that. Basically it's a win win, without really cheating :) ---------------------------------------- From: Will Tomlinson Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 11:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Search engine question > What's the url wilbergini? abracadabra! www.winstoncourtsports.com > I haven't read this yet but i threw it up 4 ya, http://www.jamwerx. > com/HowGoogleWorks.swf Preeesh!
