A lot of businesses use Adobe Flash when they create their company websites but only a few of them know how to use Flash in a proper way. So what are the points that one should pay attention to when creating a website using Flash?

Flash is a software for creating graphic-based animation that can help a website become richer and more interactive. Flash is a great tool for creating online training modules, product demonstrations and other types of contents that require interaction. However, one major drawback of Flash is that search engines, including Google, cannot understand the contents of the website if it is all written using Flash. As a result, the search engine’s ranking of such a website would be greatly affected.

Search engines utilize a process called “indexing” when ranking websites. The content inside a website is said to be “indexable” if the text (i.e. content) on the web page can be highlighted when you point your mouse to the text and left-click it. If the text can be highlighted, it means that the text can be separated in different “layers” with other graphics within the page and search engines like Google would be able to “index” the content based on the text.

When Flash is used to build a web site, the text will be put into different layers as photos or graphics. This make it difficult for Google to index the page. Google needs to be able to read the web site and look for information so that they can put the web page under a certain keyword searching database system. Indexing is therefore extremely vital.  Read more... (529 words, 0 images, estimated 2:07 mins reading time)
