Hi !
I am a very very beginner with html ( i work with dw8)
I have a problem ....
I read that putting alt text ( in my case to pictures) helps search engines.
So I have a HTML page with 10 images and a bit of text, the restt is a flash site.
I did put the alt text everywhere I could, but still after 2 months on the web, I cant find my images or anything else with any of the search engines.
I keyworded, but I am sure that i do sthing wrong. Could sbdy guide me ?
Thanks

alt tags don't guarantee improved search results, title, links, clean code & content help improve search ranking. I would suggest reading up on SEO. Also bots can take a while to re-index a site, they may have not gotten to yours, I would suggest submitting a site map ect to the major search engines.

This is not an insult to you but a good read is "Search Engine Optimization For Dummies" I found it to be a really good source for people just trying to learn about SEO.

in some cases flash text too appears into web-search.
