Visit most web sites and find that almost half of them are still all Flash and no HTML. This web design practice poses a serious problem with search engines lke Google and Yahoo.
It is true that most web designers love Flash and Flash makes a great looking web site with smooth animated graphics and interactivity, but it is still bad for search engine ranking positioning.
Most web sites are now turning to a simple HTML look like Craigs List, Google, and other plain text web sites. Although these web sites do not look as professional as all-Flash web sites, they gain higher Google and Yahoo rankings. This is the tradeoff.
So, what I do in this case it create an all Flash site with a similar all-HTML site and this is what you need to do if you have all Flash site. If you have a very high traffic web site from offline marketing, then this is fine, but most web sites do not have this content.
