Pier Village (Long Branch?)
Sunday, January 29th, 2006I just searched for Pier Village Long Branch in Google. I got a bunch of sites that mention the Pier Village, but not the Pier Village site.
Quick Web Lesson
This is because the the site was built in Flash and Flash does not get indexed in search engines. That means the search engines won’t find any bit of text in that Flash file. It also means that this page will be found sooner than the Pier Village site will be if someone searches for Pier Village Long Branch.
I did find the site by searching for Pier Village, and that’s good. But this is only because www.piervillage.com is the domain and Google is smart that way.
Also, if you were to search for pier village mcloone’s pier house, I would think you would see 2 listings. One for the Pier Village and one for the Pier Village Mcloone’s Pier House page. But alas, you won’t. As a matter of fact, you get similar results to the initial search on Pier Village Long Branch.
This would be different if part of the requirements in the web document were to “build the Pier Village web site with best search engine marketing practices to ensure proper spidering of search engines.” This is web speak for, “Your site will be found on the web.”
If you have a site that you’d like found on the internet, feel free to shoot me an email and we can chat.

If you don’t know what RSS is, you may want to change all that, as RSS/XML is going to change all that*.
*”That” is the internet in this case.
