Using SWF Files on Website

Bounce is a very true phenomenon.  Try to shock or capture their interest with something they need. An offer they can't refuse. A guarantee that is exceptional. A convincing testimonial or an incredible photo.

I think it is visually great and interesting. Are you linking to part of another page? I know a bit about SEO and what key words are you going for?

Ha it's all good. I just wanted to give you my $0.02. You are probably right with the small amount of people that would have problems. I guess after taking web design in school for so long that it's been drilled in my head to avoid animations and outside links that don't open in a new browser window 

It looks nice, duckcountry. One thing any web designer will tell you is to use animations wisely. While they look neat, sometimes they cause problems.

One of them is like you said, search engines don't really like pages with just animations or flash. So if that's all you really have on your page (meaning no real content) most search engines will punish you by pushing down your ranking. The old google algorithm was notorious to sites that just had animations or flash instead of any real content. As always, regardless of using animations or not, make sure you really pack your meta and description tags with strong keywords. The new google algorithm really favors QUALITY content over keywords in the meta and description tags.

The other problem with animiations is some people don't have the right plugins or software to view them. So if they can't see them, chances are they will see an error message or a plugin download page instead. Once they leave your site to download the plugin, chances are they won't be back. If they see an error page then they won't even get to view your site. This is one main reason why I really wouldn't put animations on my home page, but maybe on other pages.

I liked it. What did you use to create it? What is your angle or verbage that you will bring across?
