I already said, Search Engines are not to index directly for images, flash, movies, sounds, java scripts. They really meaningful text description and based on they can index the files(websites) .If you are not given any text description it will take more time for take a index in search engines.
Images:
YES! As a designer point of view they aren’t an extra but a most mandatory item for every site. So, according to the search engine concepts whenever you used the images in your website or webpage’s you must right the text description. You must provide a meaningful textual description of the image technically the text description is called “alt tags “. Okay well! How to write the alt tag read the following code.
Code:
<img src=“filename.jpg” alt=“The Elyot SEO blog is includes tips of SEO.”>
Flash:
The situation with animation and movies is similar to that with images – they are valuable from a designer’s point of view but are not loved by search engines. For instance, it is still pretty common to have an impressive Flash introduction on the home page. You just cannot imagine what a disadvantage with search engines this is – it is a number one rankings killer! And it gets even worse, if you use Flash to tell a story that can be written in plain text, hence crawled and indexed by search engines. One workaround is to provide search engines with a HTML version of the Flash movie but in this case make sure that you have excluded the original Flash movie from indexing (this is done in the robots.txt file but the explanation of this file is not a beginners topic and that is why it is excluded from this tutorial), otherwise you can be penalized for duplicate content.
There are negative thoughts that Google is building a new search technology that will allow to search inside animation and movies and that the .swf format will contain new metadata that can be used by search engines, but until then, you’d better either refrain from using (too much) Flash, or at least provide a textual description of the movie (you can use an <alt> tag to describe the movie).
Java Script:
It is known by everybody that pure HTML is powerless to make complex as required by today’s Web users and that is why other programming languages (like JavaScript, or PHP) come to enhance HTML. For now search engines just ignore JavaScript they encounter on a page. As a result of this, first if you have links that are inside the JavaScript code, chances are that they will not be spidered. Second, if JavaScript is in the HTML file itself (rather than in an external .js file that is invoked when necessary) this clutters the html file itself and spiders might just skip it and move to the next site. Just for your information, there is a <noscript> tag that allows providing alternative to running the script in the browser but because most of its applications are pretty complicated, it is hardly suitable to explain it here.
