The Idea

Flash-heavy sites are punished on the SEO front. . Detecting the search engine and presenting a text-based version of the site won't cut it: Google punishes sites that do that, once discovered, by banishing them to PageRank 0. . Simply diplaying the text invisibly at the bottom of the page doesn't do it either. Modern engines know not to rank hidden text as high as normal text. . This idea? Figure out how to use Flash heavily as a site's interface, but still reap the rewards of bleeding-edge SEO. . How does this make money? I don't think it will make tons of money. This is more a Karma project.

I thought of this idea when I was...

Flash heavy sites, and those with a flash frontpage, deserve a fiery, flaming death in Developer's Hell, surrounded by missing DLLs and security patches, where they will be crushed painfully by people with diminished senses...

It definatly would be intresting :)

With Flash being more powerful in it's functionality now then it was five years ago, there is definatly a re emergence of it.

Tordek: Be that as it may, the majority of Cambrian House projects will use it, so if we want to set our projects up for success, we better figure out how to make Flash viable.
