Hi Ashish.

Don't expect a sensible reply mate, I've been here for a day and all I
can see is petty squabbling. It's really sad. There's no FAQ for the
group either. Better asking elsewhere I think.

Good luck.

Flash is pretty much invisible to SEs.

So use flash by all means - but use it as part of a well seo'd site, not
alone. Flash 'splash' pages are a serious deterent to repeat visitors, and
all 'flash' sites need a 'skip' link for those who get bored easily.

Further, since flash became to medium of choice for advertisers, some people
block flash. Depending on your niche, this can be a problem - but is not
for most sites.

In general, flash is a useful tool, and i reckon within a year or two, there
will be ways of making it SE-visible (eg a flash equivalent of ALT text (who
knows?). SEs cannot 'see' current flash files.

ya, you'll have to navigate through the bullshit to get to the answers
you seek most the time here ... ultimately, however, this is where the
SEO experience dwells ...
