Google doesn't read the flash text in my flash website.

This is because I use movie clips within other movie clips.

I wondered if anyone knew a workaround or trick that I could use to get text into google. I have a couple ideas but they're just ideas.

I would like to create an alternate page that is not flash, but a regular html page with all of the text I want google to read inside it. Somehow I use code to tell it that when a user clicks on the link, to redirect them to the flash webpage, but when a search engine sees it, to send the search engine/google to that regular html page, where it will gather all of the text and then that text will show up on google's page when you do a search and my site on google? Even if this was possible, would google frown upon this and ban me or something?

The other idea I have is to use invisible text at the bottom of my page. This will be regular html text that is the same color as my background. But I heard this can get you banned from search engines like google if you are using lots of keywords, but I wouldn't be using keywords. I'd be using the few sentences of content that their stupid crappy technology doesn't read, forcing me to bust my hump trying to find a workaround for. It sucks that google doesn't even use keywords in my metadata for rankings either. So I can't even use that with them.

Anyone got some ideas/info?

Thanks in advance.

Write to Google and tell them about "their stupid crappy technology"....and then go to the way-back machine and return to the days of "crap sites"....many more than we have today....


I am not a big fan of the G.....but the net is much cleaner than it was....

BTW:Invisible text is a no no....even without KWs......

No it isn't never ever has been.

If it was such a travesty;

Every usage of:

"Tabbed pages" would be banned.
CSS "dropdown" menus would be banned.
"Read more" links to reveal content would be banned.

etc. etc.

So you are telling me that KW stuffing a page with "invisible " text has always been OK with Google?

"hidden" text has NEVER been subject to automatic penalties and you have to go a VERY long way with hiding text to raise flag for a manual look-over, and a very long way means HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of hidden "keywords".
