Genesis framework comes with an in-built SEO feature. This is great, unless you don’t want it and want to turn it off to use another plugin
The creators of Genesis have thought of this and have set it up to automatically switch off when another popular SEO plugin is installed.
However, what if the plugin you are using is one that Genesis doesn’t detect? Or you want to turn off Genesis SEO for another reason?
The following illustrates why flash sites are not exactly great when it come to Google & SEO.
You can see that this site has only has one page indexed (to check how many pages are indexed on your domain type site:www.yourdomain.com into Google), despite many flash pages.
You can also see that Google’s bot was presented with in effect an error message (in this case I believe from Wix) – hey you bot you can’t read flash so go away!
There are things that you can do to optimise a flash site for Google, but that is mainly creating a duplicate html site (instead of the ‘you can’t read flash’ screen presented here) for robots and browsers that can’t read flash.
But as nearly everything can be done now with html / css and javascript this seems to be a bit of duplicated effort.
What are your thoughts on flash only websites or website that contain a lot of flash?
