   Hello,

   Very quick question. I have a site http://www.helmetspeakers.co.uk.
   I am trying to optimise it and have been quite successful so far. Now i wish to change to site to a flash content. So I'd need to remove all HTML and just put flash object.
   The site would then have no HTML but will however continue to have META tags under HEAD. An example of such conversion is http://www.vivekmehta.com where no HTML is used but 100% flash

   What i want to know is whether this will affect my search engine ranking because of absense of HTML?
   Any help would be much appreciated because i am a bit unsure of how search engines treat flash content and whether they like it or hate it.

   Thanks

   Just a quick update on the above post, I would be converting the site to an all-flash website. This will have HTML, HEAD & BODY tags but within body, there will be just one OBJECT tag containing the whole site.

   I don't know the exacts, but this article might help.

   Also, IIRC, Google's web spider does index text content from Flash objects.

   Am unsure about how other search engines like yahoo / bing etc. treat Flash objects.

   Hello vmehta,
   Well i often advice people to use less flash when you are concerned about SEO. The reason is that flash does not give much exposure to textual content of website. However google have success in reading keystrokes in flash, it can click some of element and can parse data. but i am not sure if they can read all of it. So i would advice you to keep it simple, use CSS, you may find amazing designs on http://themeforest.net/, you might like it there. Always remember to keep everything simple, you may use little horizontal flash banner with some fixed size like 800px width, to stick in site to make your website more presentable. Hope this would have helped you.
