Not to meantion his OWN website only ranks 2nd for the search
‘Cosmos wide web’ (His website name)
and doesn’t appear on the 1st page at all in a search for Cosmos Web

I beg to differ with you

Flash is a terrible solution if you care about getting major success in high position at google for several keyword phrases and if you need to use your site’s content, headers and link relationships. There are a plethora of reasons why Flash is still, for the vast majority of web sites, a very bad choice… Important text in the flash can’t be discerned from less important text (no font treatment detection), any content that gets pulled in on the fly is bypassed altogether or at best indexed individually and separately, as Robert mentioned, you can’t have it fully self contained because if you do, you have only one page title, one meta header, one URL, all of which are “worst” practices in SEO…

The list is endless.

And as for the comment from Ben – His claim that he got “first page” in two days with a full Flash site is sad – he doesn’t validate his claim – which phrases is he talking about? how deep is his competition for those exact match phrases? I went to his site – What’s he coming up for? Ben’s Desk? Cosmos web design?

So what – his is the only site with those in the page title. He sure isn’t coming up for any phrase that people would use if they don’t already know what his site is or his company name is which is the whole point of SEO and search for the majority of people in the world.

When i first heard about the news that Google will be indexing flash, i was so excited. Even though it is limited indexing, i hope Google will improve it.

i always loved Flash, i got first page second place in two days,.. with a full Flash site. I wonder how much work and how many optimising experts it would take if it was html site…

Flash still isn’t worth optimising. Mostly because it’s a single file, how you can you deep link to a certain spot in a flash file? Very tricky…

I’m still gonna trash Flash
