Flash is designed to grab site visitors’ attention, and it probably does. But the real question is, does it grab search engines’ attention? Flash is used for slide shows and flash movies on technological sites and to showcase multimedia content on art and entertainment sites. Websites need search visibility to be popular on the web and flash websites or flash elements on a website were unreadable by search engine crawlers until Google announced on June 30^th 2008 that it improved its capability to index flash files and include them in their search results.


What are the problems with Flash websites or flash elements on websites? The following is a quick list:

• No Inner Page URLs: If your website is built on Flash, it will have just one URL which is the home page URL. The lack of inner page links means fewer opportunities for your flash website to show up in search results.
• Slower Page Loading Times: Complete flash websites or websites with a lot of flash content typically load slower. Although this problem has greatly reduced with improved internet download speeds and browser compatibilities, it still exists for most sites.
• Poor User Experience: Navigation on flash websites may be unconventional. This forces the user to spend more time looking for the right content on a flash website. When the user experience is compromised it is difficult to rank high in search engines, such as Google.
• Indexed by Google Bots Only: Google is the only search engine known to officially index flash. Most search engines are text based and index sites based on their HTML content. Moreover, there is no guarantee that Google can completely index flash websites.
• Poor On-Page Optimization: Flash websites or flash elements lack the presence of on page SEO elements such as header, image alt tags, anchor texts, meta title and meta description tags.
• No Link Value: Search engine crawlers fail to crawl links embedded in the flash. If the website is completely flash-based, it has only one link (home page) and no inner page links. These two reasons give no link value to flash-based websites.
• Difficult to Measure Metrics on Google Analytics: Most flash-based websites make it difficult to track user behavior on the site. It is difficult to know performance metrics of flash-based pages.

Research shows that over 30 to 40 percent of websites use flash. This does not mean that these sites do not receive traffic from search results. Some of the sites may be big brands that are made popular by other modes of offline marketing and hence gather natural links to their site. This enhances their search engine ranking. On the other hand, there are some not-so-popular sites that may need to infuse SEO into their flash-based websites in order to optimize it for search engine indexing.
