Well more specifically, with a flash site.

My site has been live for 1 1/2 months and I'm confused about a few things. I'm hoping someone here knows the answers.

1. In the Dashboard view, the bottom right pane (Content overview) shows my listed pages as / ....that's it. The only page listed is / Is this normal?

2. In the Traffic Sources pane it shows Google has only crawled it once. However, if I look at my Google Webmaster Tools, it shows Google has been there a bunch. Why the difference?

3. In Webmaster Tools, if I look at the "What Googlebot sees" page, it lists 14 words and all 14 are on my splash page. There is absolutely nothing from my actual site content or meta tags there at all.

I just today put a bunch of stuff way down at the bottom like others have hoping that helps. But until today all I had was "This site requires the latest version of Flash Player. Get it here (with a link)" and that is the only words Google is seeing. Well those and my site title.

It just seems like Google is not getting past my splash page and I'm not sure why or what to do about it. I know there are some of you here that have front page rankings with flash sites and I'm hoping you can either tell me this is normal, or point me in a direction of how to fix it.

Well all I can really answer for you is the / question, that is your index or home directory. So if someone goes to say www.google.com (external link) and not www.google.com/index.p​hp (external link) it will show up just as / since they are not technically accessing any file extension or file name.

Did you place the Google tracker code and Analytics code on all your pages?
