I have a website (Plain html) with a flash intro can you please tell me how to optimise the website for search engines.

No problem. What's the URL and what are your target terms?

Aussie,

First and foremost, that Flash presentation "splash" page that you have running is very bad in terms of SEO. Here is a run down some seo basics:

1)Target a specific search term. Figure out what search term you're trying to target

2)Get rid of that splash page. It will cripple your seo efforts. You can have a nice flash intro, just run it off your main page (example: www.rlinedesign.com).

3)Learn about the importance of metatags (Title tag, Alt. tags, Description tag, Keyword, etc...)

4)Validate your html (use www.w3.org...they have something called an html validator)

5)Learn about the importance of keyword density in your metatags and the written content of your site

6)MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET SOME INBOUND LINKS FOR POINTING TO YOUR HOMEPAGE! Learn about what a inbound link is, and start acquiring some for your homepage. This is the #1 factor for determining search engine position (Especially on Google).

Here are some resources for you to start with:

I am planning to begin a seo beginners guide with articles covering the various aspects of search engine optimization in the coming months.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hope this helps!
