- JANET Don’t often rank highly Many use one flash movie because they like the transitions from one website area to another Using one flash movie means only ONE url/page to rank Reduces overall potential visibility in organic search Essentially means optimizing for fewer keywords Use a movie per page Avoid splash pages not ideal for seo provide a link to the home page or other navigation
- JANET Often used for similar reasons to Flash – page transition Show example of Taco Bell: http://www.cantinabell.com/ Combination approach – Spotify: https://www.spotify.com/us/ Then show how many pages are indexed for Spotify: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aspotify.com%2Fus%2F&oq=site%3Aspotify.com%2Fus%2F&aqs=chrome.0.69i57j69i58.4385j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Show Activision Destiny the Game: http://www.destinythegame.com/home/destiny-official-e3-gameplay-trailer (show how URL changes)
