Working on SEO for Flash as we do quite a bit, we’re well aware that Google have always been very clear in their language when it comes to how we should use Flash in web design and it’s inherent SEO limitations.

So thanks to Janeth over at Webproworld, and www.ineedhits.com for this one, it looks like Google might have decided to actually allow the user to bypass your “lovely” flash intro altogether, straight from the search itself . whoops!

So, if the public en masse, all start choosing to bypass your bloody Flash Splash intro altogether, then will you believe us??!! (rhetorical question to flash-obsessed clients & designers)

we will be using the button every chance we get.
