Flash and SEO

NOTE: This is an older test, though still very useful. The main Flash SEO Page is a better read.

Example 1 - Flash Only

Example 2 - Flash + Embed (This is the standard Flash Movie)

Example 3 - Flash + Embed + Gif

- This works pretty well if you use AnyBrowser

Example 4 - Flash + Embed + NoEmbed (Netscape Specific, Some IE)

<h3>A Flash Movie</h3> <p>A little fish swimming around, and a link to <a href="http://www.mcanerin.com/">my site</a></p>

 

Example 5 - Flash + Embed + NoScript (Issues with some browser settings)

A Flash Movie

A little fish swimming around, and a link to my site

Example 6 - Flash + Embed + HTML in Object *Best Choice - W3C compliant*
