19Oct Flush the flash intros and entirely flash-based websites!
True, flash animations can be beautiful to look at, they are edgy, trendy and in general plain cool. Unfortunately, the search engines like Google or Yahoo cannot see any of it. It is not even that they may take too long to load and the search engine’s crawler doesn’t want to wait and leaves, though this too is already a good reason not to have them. It is that crawlers cannot read the movement or action at all. Search engines read text, that’s what they index in their catalogs, and that’s what they will look up when you go into Google and type, for example “Web Design in Miami“.

I’m not going to argue your article; I just want you to sit for a while and stay out of your major and think as a practical mind.
Besides if you want to or not: do you really believe that web will keep look like as a paper of images and letters? Does history of any kind of presentation have something to say to you as an average logical mind?
With one way or another, animation graphics will change the web as we know it today. Animation graphics is a better way to express and transfer your customer’s message to their client’s.
So, instead of keep avoid accepting this change, step forward and find the ways to make it happened. This is the way to be reward for your executive services.
Changes » adjustments » solutions, is the only true path to success.
I’m quite sure that you know very well that a practical solution to this problem is to keep twin sites in both versions (html and flash). Be sure that after a while technology will find out the ways to read the text parts inside animation. And will improve it as the time goes by and so on.
You are doing very good work so far.
Don’t stop, keep going.
