Does a site html intro affect SEO?
 
I am thinking of putting an html site intro onto my site, would it affect SEO? If so, how much?
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Its really bad to have flash pages if thats what your going to be using.

But HTML pages are file they get indexed ;)

"Intros" or "Splash pages" are really unnecessary and uneeded, you should avoid doing do at all costs.

well its an index.html file. and you click on images to navigate to specific pages, and it has a video that you click play in the middle of the page.

So would it be ok or what?

We use a sliced intro html page for the root of our site

www.australiabound.org/index.html

It is just there really for the odd user who finds us via this means :)

I have a similiar one TimberFloorAu. Except the intro page is composed of images that you click on with a video in the middle.

How is your SEO though Timberfloor?

Because I hear these intros cause SEO to go down, so I am wondering if I should install this or not....How much will it affect SEO? my new index would be www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/index.html

so anyone?

Like anything with SEO nobody really knows, one camp will say it isn't an issue, another camp will say that it could have a minor effect and yet another camp will insist that your site will be destined to go to hell in a hand basket.

IMHO / IME the welcome text block, especially the default VB one, does nothing to help your site from an SEO perspective. The logic being that this text is at the top of just about every guest page and doesn't contain any keywords relevant to what people might be searching for.

I would either remove it, make it keyword rich or replace it with an image (search engines can't index image content)

K since people aren't really answering my question... I decided to upload the intro page to my site, go to www.brotherhoodofgamers.com

Look at the intro page "index.html" and tell me, how would that affect SEO or would it at all?

I really doubt it's going to affect seo. it's your original content that truly affects page rank.
That looks really sharp btw.
