Gone are the days of “If you build it; they will come.” Doing business via the Internet places you among some steep competition and the average surfer has little time or patience for sifting through various pages of search engine results. You need the page rank to get their attention and page design to keep it.

Flash SEO is a combination of skills that allows you to have your cake and eat it to. Flash websites are visually appealing on a level that will get the attention of even casual surfers but properly optimized to grab the attention—and subsequent page ranking of the search engines.

There are generally 3 different types of searchers that will find you online.

1. Those who are searching specifically for your business. This means they have heard of you, know who you are, and know what you have to offer. These searchers often turn into sales and profit for your business—provided they can find you on the first one or two pages of the search engine listings.

2. Those who are looking for a product or service that your business offers. If these customers find you they may be enticed to buy from you over other options available online if you present a web page that appeals to them visually, earns their trust, and lets them know what you have to offer them. Again, the success of this hinges upon the ability of potential customers to find you online. The added twist here is that they do not already have your trust or anything to remember you by. You must become either trustworthy or memorable to them in order to earn their business.

3. Those who find you completely by accident. These are the least likely to convert to sales, however, if you have a nicely done Flash website that lets them know what you have to offer, your name or website may be the first they think of when the time comes to to buy the product or service you are offering.

The point of all your SEO efforts, of course, lies in the hopes of creating either immediate or future sales. See what a difference Magnetiks can make for your website design and Flash SEO efforts.

Below I have given some insight as to the three categories of web visitors. The dollar signs represent what type of revenue you can expect from each visitor type:

Type 1: The Viewer $ - The viewer type is primarily on the web to be entertained. They like Flash elements, animations, shiny colors, and overall graphic and audio driven sites as appose to text. The viewer type make the fewest online purchases.

Type 2: The Reader $$ - The reader type is more only online to read blogs, articles, forums, and magazine or book like sites. In other words they are using it for free reading material. Reader type visitors do have a higher online purchase rate than the viewer type however, it is unlikely that their purchases will cover your business costs.

Type 3: The User $$$ - The user type should be any business's target market. These users prefer mostly text based, fast loading, direct to the point sites. They want to move through a linear purchase process and find there desired information, product, or service quickly and easily. Any distracting Flash, graphics, unwanted ads, and such will drive this user from your site in an instant and they will never return.

It is possible with traditional web statistics and a professional evaluation of them to develop a primarily user type of visitor profile or audience on your website. For more information call Magnetiks @ (281)362-9855 or visit us at our main site: Magnetiks Search Engine Optimization.

Some basic steps to follow are:

1. Use table design for your primary layout or main element placement.(This provides a permanent container for all

page elements) Tables were in use from the beginnings of the web and can display in any browser.

2. If using a WYSIWYG editor such as Dreamweaver, be sure to test files live on the server to insure they appear the

same as the local version.

3. Keep your CSS simple. More advanced use of CSS is less friendly to older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6.

4. Always validate your CSS using the W3C tool found @ http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator

5. Use a tool to test your page layout on all browsers. I found one @ http://browsershots.org

The main idea is to keep things as simple as possible. With the marriage of old-school table design and the wonders of CSS it is easy to create a professional web site layout that will keep your visitors coming back.
