SEO not as difficult as i thought.

Ha well I have a flash based site and have not done a ton of stuff for seo really and my website is only 3 months old. But i noticed today I am on first page for my top search term(clarks summit photography) where I was 6+ pages back a few weeks ago. I thought it was hard for flash based sites to do well haha but i guess not? Now to work on other search terms i suppose.

Good job picking a name that's the same as the city that you provide business in That's the key there!

However one thing to add. I dont even seem to be listed under yahoo search engine as far as i can tell. Even when directly searching for my website. I havent actually searched for my name on their before now, although i did submit my site to them a month or two ago. Weird.

When folks say it's hard for a Flash site to make progress with SEO, they're talking about sites that are 100% flash. Yours isn't, you've got heading tags, paragraph text, etc, and then flash for your images. All the text gets indexed by search engines. In other words, you did it the right way.

Oh my mistake. I didnt realize that at all.Thanks for the correction tracknut. PS that is an interesting slogan you have.

Ditto on what Tracknut said. I only wanted to add that Google will index flash content, but it may not be as accurate as a plain HTML website. It's a lot easier to sculpt the SEO of a website that uses HTML for the navigation menu and content. It looks like your site is kind of a hybrid of HTML and CSS. That big <h1> title for "Clarks Summit Photography", along with not much competition, is probably what's putting you at the top of the search results.
