A Flash-heavy web site can really get viewers' attention, but if the right people can't find the site, it won't make any difference. In Flash CS4 Professional: Building Search Engine Friendly Sites, Todd Perkins dispels the belief that Flash content hampers SEO. He shows how to use HTML, JavaScript, and PHP to optimize applications and incorporate text that is easy for search engines to find and accurately represents a site's Flash content. Exercise files accompany the course.
