Everything You Already Know About SEO
- enjo 16y agoSo the author makes the supposition that Flash contributes to low ranking (in that the content is not indexed). Google most definitely crawls flash (in some fashion) at this point... I'm curious, does anyone have any idea how that content ranks compared to good old fashioned mark-up? Is it 1:1? Is it harder to rank with flash content? I really have no idea.
- kadavy 16y agoYes, Google supposedly indexes some Flash content, but the potential complexity of a Flash movie is limitless, so they can't possibly index all of it.
- Concours 16y agoSEO for flash is very complex, mostly based on tips and tricks. The easiest way to go is external links with anchors +the basics html optimisation. If you are serious about it, Adobe has partnered with the search engines to make flash content discoverable (Ichabod), some peoples (Damien Bianchi) suggest developers to create XML and video sitemaps along with an HTML sitemap for websites, reading this article may help you : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/seo/articles/checklist_ria.html http://www.adobe.com/devnet/seo/articles/checklist_ria.html , I hope this helps.
- landyman 16y agoIt depends on the site and the terms people are searching for. Inbound Links can make a site rank highly for some searches, even when the entire page content is Flash and has no other content on it. But, to rank for all the terms you want, having Flash content only will not work.
- mgcross 16y agoI always use swfobject.js and include alternate html content for flash-only sites. Google will pick up the alternate content rather than crawl the flash, from what I gather. A few years ago, before I included alt content, Google was indexing content like movie clip instance names in addition to the contents of static text boxes.
- mcantor 16y ago[citation needed] Seriously though, despite how anecdotal this page is, it gave me some food for thought. Does Google really care about how far in the future I have registered my domains? I'd love a source on that.
- Finster 16y agoThis is extremely anecdotal... but in my experience, it's all the stuff that actually works. And until Google releases a definitive guide to how their search algorithm works, I think anecdote is all we have to go by.
- WillyF 16y agoA citation would require a source with knowledge of Google's algorithm. Some of the best research that I've found on SEO is SEOmozs Search Engine Ranking Factors: http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors It's based on a survey of SEO professionals/experts, which leaves a bit to be desired, but I still think the conclusions are on point.
- kadavy 16y agoHey, it's Willy! Thanks for that link, I put it at the bottom of the post. Very interesting!
- tocomment 16y agoWhy is page load time listed on that page? I thought I read recently that's a new thing google is doing?
- kadavy 16y agoGoogle had hinted before this year that they would use speed. This article is from December, but perhaps there's something earlier: http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/11/13/google-page-speed-may-be-a-ranking-factor-in-2010 http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/11/13/google-page-spe... Still, Google said it will only affect 1% of searches.
- nerme 16y agoAnecdotal evidence: My band's website is the highest ranked page for the search term "red blue yellow". No meta headers, no keywords, no <strong>, no <h1>... nothing, not even <html> or <body> tags. In fact, the only HTML is a <pre> tag containing ASCII art and a link to our Facebook page. I mean this quite literally, view the source. However, it has been linked to from other sites quite frequently in recent weeks. It would seem that Google doesn't penalize invalid HTML, or even pages that have only the most basic HTML.
- kadavy 16y agoYeah, wouldn't say they penalize, but since your site actually is at the URL of redyellowblue.com, and there are other sites (probably with some authority) linking to it, it doesn't surprise me that it would rank highly. Additionally, I doubt there is much competition for this keyphrase. It has a global monthly search volume of 1,600.
- ddemchuk 16y agoI can't upvote this enough. ranking for red blue yellow is a trivial example on its own, but with an exact match domain, it's hard to NOT rank for it
- InfinityX0 16y agoI should not that there is no way in hell this has a global monthly search volume of 1,600. Google Adwords lists it at 1,600 probably, which means that the actual numbers are more like 100. You have to remember Google is inflating these numbers for their own gain - being increased PPC spend, of course. Who in their right mind would search for "red yellow blue"?
- detst 16y ago> Who in their right mind would search for "red yellow blue"? People searching for the band, the "primary color triad in a standard artist's color wheel"[1], or maybe an artist entering random colors because they're bored and want to see what they can find. Since I just learned about the band, I'm sure there are many other reasons that I haven't thought of. I'm surprised it's not more. Can you substantiate your claims?
