Contents in each page matter, because crawler will read its text which matches to keyword typed in and capture them on to the result page. This is why writing contents are decisively important for SEO. It should consider the relevancy between what you are writing and what your users might search for.
1. Ensure what you are writing: Depending on the purpose of the site and contents you are writing it can be fact, journals, article, news or your opinions on certain subject etc. whatever the issue will be you will have to admit that the contents you are about to upload will be presented to public which you should carefully researched and thought through. It is your dignity mentioning about any issues to be shared with users.
2. Link out to your sources: Google detect links on your site as extra avenues and to see possibility of further information.
3. Unique contents It is important that you are writing your own contents, rather than copying them from other sites. If you use contents from other site, it will only duplicate but if you are creating an original message they will be the one who will copy your contents. If you are concerned of keeping your contents safe under copyright there are places where you can be protected by government, such as United State copyright office.
4. Users participation: Involving users to participate is another good idea. It would be good to let them question or leave comment, or review on something that you wrote if possible.
5. Correct use of spelling and grammar: If spelling mistake occurs, crawlers will most likely find it as spam. Always make sure that you are using the correct spellings and grammars.

Web designers and developers design sites mainly for site users, they don’t really realize how the site will be appealing to search engine which is fair enough. Various techniques and graphic methods are applied in entire site in order to grab visitor’s eyes in a second. It is fact that a decision whether they would stay or leave will be made instantly. As applying good visual effect is important in terms of web site design, using interactive programs such as Flash is a new fashionable approach in online trend today.
But we need to consider something here! While using flash impresses your site users, search engines don’t recognize it well therefore it is not indexing your site at all. I am not saying that you should never use flash and not follow trend or style just because search engines will ignore your site, but if you know how to use them in better way it will be only beneficial. Search engine will support your site to stay in good ranking - so it will be more visible to your users just before they are about to impress with your site design.
1. Use flash when it is really necessary – Try not to use flash for entire site. It is a great tool for interactive aspect. If you would like to use the function, use it right when it is absolutely necessary.
2. Use Alt tag – If you make good habit on using alt tag it is not only helpful for search engines to notify what images or flash part is (the description of them) but also to your site users especially they are a screen readers (disable friendly sites).
3. SIFR ( Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) - This is a technology that displays text from flash elements. Even if the part is designed with flash, text will be still readable to search engines.
