Frequently asked questions

How does Flash get read by search engines?

All our sites are indexed by search engines in the same way as any other site. Because our sites are published in Flash (the Flash is contained within a web page) some search engines cannot read the content correctly. Therefore, we produce a complete HTML alternative of your site which can be read by users without Flash or Javascript (including search engines). This includes all your text, links, images and other content. When you have a site you can see this alternative version by going to 'Edit' 'view html version' in the Toolbar. This HTML alternative can then be read by search engines and enable them to index the website accordingly. In addition some search engines are able to read content in Flash and index them correctly using that.
