Hi every one I use dreamweaver mainly as place holder for my flash sites. In
the passed I use the title statment in my HTML pages to search engines
find my sites. But I don't know if this is new to CS3 or not but now it seems
that the <Title> statment in the HTML page is no longer valid at pulling any
search results. One thing I have noticed in comparing meta tags with DR8 and DR
CS3 is this:

DR8:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

vs.

DRCS3:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here the only real goal I do have is to
get my sites that are mostly flash to be found by search engines in some way.
As always I"m gratfull for any and totaly open to any new ideas any one
might have

Thx

John

The code you mention would have nothing to do with search engine visibility.
What determines your SERP is the CONTENT on the page. If your page is
all-Flash, you basically have NO content on the page (since search engines
cannot read Flash content). The information in the <title> tag *is*
critically important, yes, but a title alone will NOT get you a good
ranking. I think you are discovering why one should not do all Flash sites
without also buying placements and getting good incoming links - that's your
only alternative, I think.
