[thelist] google and other search engines

[Thomas Klepl]

In our case, we don't focus on Google as a tool to generate new business..
Depends on the type of business you're in and the clientele you're after I
guess. If you make widgets, and you want to sell as many widgets as possible
to anyone who has a buck in their pocket, then that's different.

I just wanted to illustrate that a website done entirely in flash can still
be found on google, using a well-crafted HTML splash page. The original
poster was concerned that the site couldn't be found using the site's own,
unique name.

I think it's important to realise that google, or any www search, is not the
only way to get your site out there. Other forms of advertising including
offline methods can be very effective and also more focused.

Ah, but how much *new* business are you gonna scare up that way? Odds are if
someone already knows the name of your company, they know your url.
