This is good stuff. So many of our customers want Flash sites these days, and at the same time they want them to be complete SE optimised. It’s great to see that there are more and more ways to actually make this happen. Thanks!

thanks for your article, i think that even now flash is not so friendly to search engines, and your article is great even to 2010.

Hi M.D. Are you trying to change the widget or simply add it to a page? I’d recommend against modifying the code, but using basic HTML tricks link ‘floats’, you should be able to place text next to the cloud (or any element that’s not too wide for it to fit).

First I would like to say, I love the cumulus. I was wondering if you could place text to the side of the cloud, it seams it must be in a row by itself and I’ve tried several ways to edit this, but my text is still placed under the cloud. Is there a fix for this?

The tag cloud caught my eye whilst I was surfing around Hulu.com – the more I looked at it, the more mesmerised I became. It’s a fantastic innovation – truly well done!

For a neo-blogger, your post is invaluable for its insightfulness.

Roy:
I uploaded my flash based website that is called via a .php file. I included meta tags in the php and the bing robot found it and listed me in number 5,however, google seems to not like the swf (flash file) and is not listing me or finding me. Somebody suggested to upload some “shadow” html in addition to my swf, but I am not sure how it is going to work, I will be experimenting and keeping you posted.

The point is that at least for Bing, meta tags are still running and very strong, I did not expect to be listed in number 5.

Bichito, as far as i know all the major search engines do not use the meta tags any more.

Roy thanks for your article, it is great and have not heard too much of this important topic anywhere.

By the way, do you think including meta tags in a php index file would help?

Thanks for your response
