Hey guys,
I'm working on an a very rich media site (mp3 players video players etc`) with frame sets and flash content as well as a flash GUI for navigating through the frame set (due to an mp3 player etc`).
I need to SEO this site, which is going to be incredibly difficult due to the rich media content, what I was hoping to do is create an HTML duplicate which will be indexed by the SE's.
My question is: assuming the HTML site is working well and is getting indexed, will having an automatic Re-direct from each page on the HTML site to the rich media flash site cause either or both of the sites to be penalized by the search engines?
Some have mentioned this might be considered cloaking, but I'd like some additional opinions.
One alternative is using a pure HTML site as we did on our own site:
((site in profile))
For the particular site mentoned above we are not interested in people browsing the HTML version only for it to recieve high ranking.
Thanks for you time and answers!
Oren

Generally speaking, the best way to handle it is to provide both a low-bandwidth (regular html) and high-bandwidth (Flash) version of your site.
Identify each "user" when they visit and give the search engine bots the low-bandwidth version of your site. The search engines don't have a problem with doing it this way as long as the content of both versions is the same.
You can cloak the site, but why not simply identify if the visitor has Flash installed. If they do, then give them the Flash version. Otherwise, give them the low-bandwidth version with an option to go to the Flash version.

If you redirect from a page, Google shouldn't index the content on the starting page, or might even just treat it as spam. This is going to be very tricky to do well.

Hey guys,
Many thanks for the replys.
That's pretty much what I thought as well, merely wanted to verify.
Cheers,
Oren
