Making Flash Web Design More SEO-friendly Is Easy

Do you know the greatest myth about Flash based websites? People believe that they are not crawlable by the search engines. Wrong! The making or breaking of such sites depends on how it is used by the developer. Therefore, simply blaming this technology without knowing the right use is living in fool's paradise.

Web pages along with being attractive should also be optimized for better rankings. To know how Flash web design can be made more SEO friendly, read this article.

Why Opt for Macromedia Search Engine SDK? - To make Flash elements scannable, it is wiser to make use of Macromedia Search Engine SDK. The use of this application will not only make your pages scannable but also index SWF movies. You might be wondering how this is possible. Well, the application assist in dragging the text and links from any SWF based file and convert them into simple HTML documents.

Once a document is created, it can be easily optimized and your site will get better rankings in the SERPs. It must be remembered here that SDK only assists in page generation, and does not help in the optimization. To make pages optimized, it is necessary to integrate 'Meta Data', 'body content' and update the 'Alt Tags' on the images built using SDK.

Keyword Link Strategy - Ask the designer to generate content based web pages having embedded Flash elements. This is essential for listing in the major search engine pages. Users should be able to find your site by making use of the keywords. You only have to ensure that the pages having the right components and representing the relevant keywords.

Another Version Is Mandatory - A smart way to score high in terms of SEO is by building another version of your website. The other version should be designed using HTML only. The most important page can be designed using Flash but include links that take visitors to the other pages. This strategy will help to scan the web pages built in HTML easily.

Other Factors to Consider - You should also take into consideration some other factors for providing a rich user experience. Let's see what are they:

-        Implementing a spider simulation as that will help you ascertain where exactly the development process has gone wrong.

-        Make changes wisely and include trendy elements that internet spiders love to crawl. Make the alterations during the designing process instead of doing it later.   It will save a lot of your designing time and efforts.

-        Each of the pages should be well connected to each other.

The designer needs to be familiar with the latest trends of SEO and implement technology in the right manner.

Smartphones with long battery

-->

They're cell phones, music and video players, mobile Web browsers, and personal organizers, among other things. Not surprisingly, all this can take a toll on battery life, and when you depend on your smartphone for so much, the last thing you want is for it to run out of juice when you need it most.

Smartphones are the  Knives of the tech world

with moderate use, smartphones can give you a full day's performance before needing to be recharged, but not all gadgets are created equal -- some simply run out of steam early, whereas others will hang in there for the long haul. Here are six smartphones with battery usage that really impressed us, whether it was because they scored well in Labs battery tests, or simply because their usage time stood out from the crowd of humdrum cell phone batteries we encountered (and believe us, we encounter a lot). Give one of these devices a try if you're looking for a phone that packs some decent juice.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx -15 hours and 16 minutes

HTC Evo 4G LTE -10 hours and 13 minutes

Samsung Galaxy S III -9 hours and 24 minutes 

Motorola Droid 4 - 9 hours and 5 minutes

Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE -8 hours and 6 minutes

samsung galaxy tab-11

         

Ever since the launch of the iPad we have seen a slew of tablets that have tried to take on the big Apple and quite frankly, failed miserably at it. It was with the launch of Google’s Honeycomb OS that Android tablets showed some potential and with the launch of Android 4.0 ICS, Android tablets finally started to make sense.

We have also begun to see some budget tablets hit the streets that boat of decent hardware under the hood and an attractive price point of around Rs. 10,000.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is priced at the Rs. 20,000 mark which means that it offers features specifications and a build that goes beyond the budget devices and is aimed at the audience that doesn't want to drop a lot of cash on the iPad.

But does the device make a place for itself in the tablet market or are you better off aspiring for an iPad?

Design and Build

One look at the device and it has the build of a typical 7-inch tablet. It feels way better than any budget tablet that we have seen but doesn't have the classy feel of the iPad. The rear of the Galaxy Tab 2 has a grey plastic matte finish which is nice. It gives the device an elegant finish while making it a resistive to dust and fingerprints. The front of the device has the 7-inch display, which is glossy, and a fingerprint magnet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is really slim measuring in at 10.5mm thin and is relatively light at 344 grams. It fells really sturdy in ones hands. Considering its size, the device fells very comfortable in both landscape as well as portrait mode.

The device comes in three variants of internal storage – 8GB / 16GB / 32GB. The review unit we received has 16GB of internal storage. The memory of the device is expandable via microSD card up to 32GB. The microSD card slot rests to the left of the device along with a SIM card slot. Both the SIM card and the microSD card slots rests under a flap, which is easy to access and keeps the cards safe.

The right of the device has the volume rocker as well as the on/off/sleep/wake button. The bottom of the device has a proprietary dock connector, something that looks very reminiscent of the iPhone/iPad dock connector. The top of the device has the headphones jack. The rear houses the 3.15MP snapper without a flash and the front of the device ahs a VGA camera for video calling.

At the bottom of the tablet to the right and the left of the dock connector rest the two speakers.

The downside to the connectivity options is that Samsung has gone the Apple way with a proprietary dock connector. This isn’t a bad thing, but we have seen budget tablets from Zyncand iBerry that offer HDMI-out straight out of the box. 

Features and specifications

From the moment you switch on the device, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 runs on Google Android 4.0 ICS skinned with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. With TouchWiz, Samsung brings with it a bunch of preloaded apps such as PolarisOffice, Samsung Apps, eBuddy XMS, TuneIn Radio, Chat On and more. Samsung All share app comes preloaded on the device. The app enables uses to share multimedia content with the Galaxy Tab and a DLNA enabled TV.

At the bottom of the screen on the left, you have touch sensitive buttons representing back, home, task manager for easy killing of apps and freeing memory and a nifty button used to take screen shots.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a dual core 1GHz processor, has 1GB of RAM and comes with 3 variants of internal storage – 8GB/16GB/32GB. The review unit we received boasts of 16GB of internal storage. Other specifications include 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer and digital compass. The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is 7-inches and has a resolution of 1024 x 600. This resolution seems a little disappointing as we have seen devices that boast of a resolution of 1280x 800.

Overall the device is quite well loaded with features. If you are used to the Android powered Samsung smartphones, you will fell tight at home here. If you are looking for a raw Android experience you will have to look elsewhere as every aspect of the interface than can be customized has been customized by Samsung with TouchWiz. If you want a raw Android experience, on a 7-inch device, you will have to take a look at the Google Nexus 7.

iphone to cost the same as last iphone -happy or sad news ?

Those hoping for a cheaper iPhone -- or dreading the possibility of a price hike -- can stand down, according to a new report that claims Apple will stick to its tried and true pricing structure.

-->

In a report today, 9to5Mac posts a "parts code matrix" for the upcoming handset that sports the same $199 to $399 prices that have been in place since the iPhone 4S last year. The outlet says these prices and storage capacities will stay the same in the jump to the next iPhone, which is dubbed the N42.

The cost of a carrier-subsidized iPhone 4S has gone down a bit since its release. Retailers, most notably Target, trimmed the price by $25 back in March. Sprint upped the ante last month, cutting the price by $50 at first, then doubling that to a $100 gift card a few weeks later. Apple itself was also rumored to be matching prices with Sprint and any other carrier partners at its own retail stores.

The pricing rumor comes at a time when Apple's competitors have become more aggressive with the pricing of their flagship smartphones. That includes Motorola, which this week debuteda high-end $99 Android-based smartphone that buyers can get for free under certain circumstances. There's also Nokia's Lumia 900, which debuted at $100, a price Nokia halved to $50 in mid-July.
