Video Tutorial on my site.... Pro or Am?

[a.g.r.c]

Hi,

Recently ive been working towards filling my site with relevant content. Tutorials seemed like a good idea.

This is my first video turial and was wondering if you good folks could review it. I was nervous and come accross like an ass at one point, but apart from that it seemed good.

I am self taught with flash, the terminology/methodology/buzz words might be a bit off.

Anyone to review this? Marks out of 10 would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

The concept is good. I suggest, though, that you put more of your website into HTML, rather than pure Flash. You'll not get many web hits that way.

hi KDLA,

nice to see you keeping popping up from time to time. Always have respected your posting. I think it s the "miss moderator". Well anyway, you are probably right on the side of more hits and things. If you google in "2shades" the site is number 1 out of 33 pages of searching. So cant be all that bad.

Just gotta get some rep and yes an html site too in the future.

Thanks for the post.

Yes, that's true. But most people looking for help won't type in the name of your website; instead, they'll type in a topic for a tutorial. If you do retain the all-Flash format, I suggest you add unique metadata keywords and a description for each tutorial. Else, the search engine won't have content to index.

That might be kind of difficult for the individual tutorials as they are all contained within the one movie. Do you think creating an entirely new page dedicated to tutorials might be an idea, with its own metadata?

That might be helpful. :)

Might want to have a splash screen, that says HTML site or Flash Site, depending on which one they choose, you could save a cookie to their PC, and just retrieve it so it will automatically load flash/HTML site. You would then also need an option in the flash site to go to the HTML version, and vise versa.
