How To Make Money Right Now


That wonderful web design program that makes it possible to have a website do virtually ANYTHING - except rank in the Search Engines, about Flash, of course, i'm speaking mainly. At last we are seeing a navigation away from the dynamic or fancy type of website that has been inundating the Internet through virtually anyone who has had the funds to pay the sometimes ridiculous fees demanded to have a website designed and created.

Are robbing them of the chief reason anyone seeks an Internet presence - Rankings in the Search Engines, to bedazzle their clients and in doing so, i suspect, but many web designers keep applying these components to websites in too much quantity, search Engines can't read Flash the same as they can't they read JavaScript.

Useless as far as the Search Engines are concerned. . . Again. The script they are supplying is JavaScript. The problem? Which the Search Engines love", i've also seen many websites promoting their FREE RSS feed thus: "Just copy this script into the html page of you website and you'll have daily updated content. I've often seen RSS feeds applied to websites in the JavaScript version - a waste of time and resources.

I've rarely seen a 'total' Flash site that has anywhere near the simplicity and ease in navigation that plain HTML can give. They need to find what they want without having to search for the means to get to the appropriate page. Also users need to be able to navigate a website easily and quickly. There is nothing for the user in waiting for the huge amounts of time it takes for Flash sites to load. There is no information contained in a spaceship flying across the page or whatever weird and wonderful Flash gimmick has been created. Internet users want information and they want it NOW! That you can hardly do one without doing the other, as I see it, the two are so closely linked, in fact. I agree 100 per cent. Not Search Engines", "You design a website for users, many will be thinking to themselves, of course.

"I didn't know you wanted a website that would rank in the Search Engines", their answer reportedly was. And they asked their previous designer why the website had been designed in that way, after they got upset when I told them why their website hadn't achieved anything in the SE rankings after three years, i was told by one of the clients. I have no idea. WHY? Index and rank effectively, at least nothing that a Search Engine could read. Checking the Source Code was basically a joke - there almost was none! Both websites were made up COMPLETELY of Flash. For different clients, i recently redesigned two websites.

Especially a web designer! I would think any half intelligent person would be able to tell this type of website simply by looking it, however. Use as reference sources or maybe access tools or updates, i suppose that's not so laughable when you consider that there ARE websites which simply serve as an extension of a business for use by existing clients to download reports.

Even if they may sometimes lack the 'dynamic' and the 'exciting', hTML websites can be made to look every bit as attractive as Flash websites. Often downright beautiful to look at, in fact, which is also Search Engine friendly AND aesthetically pleasing, background and navigation utilities can be used to design and build a user friendly website, logo, so a balance of imaging, aesthetics are important too, of course. Keyword rich HTML text should be the major content component of any website, read and index, as HTML text is the main component of a website that the Search Engine robots can recognize.

None of them EVER used Flash to the extent that many web designers decided too and I have to assume that these 'top' Internet concerns have the very best minds in the world advising and designing their websites. They only used it sparingly in a corner or in a strip across the top of the Home page (as Adobe are doing right now), even when Flash was THE thing to have. Those websites with PRs of 9 and 10. And continue to do so, if not every day, websites that millions visit every week. About.com i.e, mSN, yahoo, microsoft, websites like Adobe. I have always been familiar with what the 'leaders' are doing. To the design and creation of other's websites, i've always had a rule of thumb as far as designing and building my own websites and I apply it also now.

Than Flash, in excess, but nothing has ever been more obviously harmful online. Invented or discovered to be used in excess, built, i don't believe anything at all was ever designed. You end up in a place called 'trouble', aLL things can be beneficial and worthwhile but as soon as you begin to overuse anything, as with life. . . It comes back to the same thing, as always, again.
