Does Google, Yahoo and MSN index Flash content?

April 13, 2005 / Dave Taylor / SEO & Marketing / 4 Comments

I read somewhere that Google and others are to start searching meta keywords ‘within’ Flash animations. Is this true?
The reason is that I want to create a website using an interactive city map on the homepage, close to the top. I know that Google will only cache the first few hundred KB of content, so my concern is getting keywords into the top of the page without pushing the interactive map down too far.

Are hidden layers a bad search engine optimization (SEO) technique?

January 12, 2005 / Dave Taylor / SEO & Marketing / 17 Comments

What’s Acceptable Search Engine “Spam” Technique?

August 10, 2004 / Dave Taylor / SEO & Marketing / 1 Comment

After hearing a lot about it, I went over to SitePoint and read an interesting article by a “search engine optimization expert” wherein he enumerates his list of fifteen of the most egregious techniques by which companies and individuals “spam” the search engines. What’s search engine spam, you ask? It’s using inappropriate and deceitful methods of manipulating the HTML or other elements of a site to generate a higher ranking than the site would otherwise be granted by a typical search engine relevance calculation.

What’s the Right Way to Link To Pages On My Site?

June 25, 2004 / Dave Taylor / SEO & Marketing / No Comments

Here’s a topic that should be obvious, but isn’t: how should you best code links on your site from page to page? Should you use something like “page two” or “continued…” or “more” with the page filenames as the links? Should you use absolute links that always begin with a leading / (as in “/reviews.html”), should you always use relative links (as in “../reviews.html”) or should you use fully qualified links (as in “http://www.free-web-money.com/reviews.html”)?

Is there any hidden importance to the page TITLE?

May 17, 2004 / Dave Taylor / SEO & Marketing / 1 Comment

Here’s a search engine optimization concept that most people don’t think about: make sure you have keywords and key phrases in your TITLE tag. You know what the TITLE tag is, it’s the tag that gives you the name of the page on the Window frame in your browser, and it’s remarkable how few sites pay any attention to what’s in that critical search engine optimization (SEO) field.
