I was on my way to Italy to attend the legal marketing Italia seminar, where I wasn’t too surprised to find the very first question was about why a company’s website ranking fails miserably even on company’s name. While the answer typically was all about boosting SEO strategies even more, but in truth Italian websites customarily use loads of flash content. While Flash offers great viability for resourceful beautification of a website, but in Search Engine Optimisation terms, it’s simply not a practical choice. Yes, modern day search engines are quite advanced to scan and process website information within minutes, but they still aren’t advanced enough to encode information’s embedded within Flash content. Besides, even website reporting on Flash navigation is challenging and burdensome.

Now, what’s even more horrific to see is that Flash actually ends up breaking web suability standards. Well how? Here is how;

• Try navigating through a Flash based site using the browser ‘back button’, well you cannot because it’s disabled.
• Alright, now try highlighting any information which you require pasting in your notepad or Outlook, well can’t do that either.
• How about increasing your ‘Font size’, that too isn’t possible.
• Well no surprises for guessing, even bookmarking a page or deep linking to another page isn’t possible over Flash. Let’s not forget, deep linking affects a websites visibility within search engines.

Considering all those problems, using Flash is like obstructing online traffic on purpose. Whereas your standard HTML and CSS can quite easily avoid such unnerving quandaries.

Besides, Flash lacks reliable cross platform support, while some embedded Flash objects don’t even pass w3c validation. What’s even worse, standard Flash object embeddings on existing xHTML and HTML version don’t validate correctly all the time. Then you have web users purposefully disabling Flash in order to improve page-loading times. Certain search engines offer surfers the liberty of previewing a target site before viewing it. Now this offers the users a transparent idea of what to expect. Sadly, Flash based sites cannot be previewed.

So there you have it, Flash is great for website beautification, but it gives no room to deliver appropriate SEO strategies.

Let SEO Manchester get you results!

Nothing attracts more Web site visitors and potential customers than front page listings in the top results delivered by Google, Yahoo! and other popular search engines and online directories. In the UK, as much as 80% of the new business gained by successful Web sites from the Internet comes directly from search engine referrals.

In theory, it’s possible to find any of the billions of Web pages listed by Internet search engines, but it’s easy to be lost in the crowd – and most people never look beyond the first 20 or 30 results they see.

Without a high enough search engine ranking, most of the new business that should be attracted by your company Web site will find its way to competitor sites instead.

There’s no simple or guaranteed formula that will achieve the best possible search engine exposure for your Web site or the products or services you sell. It takes skill and expertise to win top positioning – and strict adherence to ethical principles. Things can easily go wrong if you leave the promotion of your site in inexperienced hands – but there is an easy solution.

Our Search engine optimisation team has a record of success developed over more than eight years – a level of experience practically unheard of in the overcrowded world of search engine business development.
