I'm optimizing a site for search engines and noticed that the designer put a space in between each letter of the title.
Example:
B O B S A U T O R E P A I RI'm pretty sure it was a design thing but is this not advised as search engines won't recognize it as an entire word or name?
thanks

title tags are quite important with seo and having all those spaces isnt going to help.

So removing them would be suggested. That's what I thought.

Yeah that title tag will show up in search engine results - and people wouldn't type spaces in a search.

its important to have a title tag that reflects your content text. It doesnt always have to be the name of the company, etc - it could be the company services or other keywords - as long as they are reflected in your body text.

thanks all. one last question - the entire site is built in Flash and only resides in one (index.html) actual html page. will this hurt in the area of search engines picking up on body copy text for keywords, etc? or is there a way around or to help this matter?
thanks

if SEO is a big factor, build an alternative html site. Yahoo and Google both claim to read flash content better than before but i'm not so sure...

i think its a bit of a lottery to be honest. I have HTML pages optimised to the hilt - and they dont rank well / and i have flash sites that rank very well. You could always build a few HTML pages - optimise them and redirect them to your flash page after 0 seconds?

macromedia have sdk for ouputting all the content from flash into html pages (not sure if you can do it with dynamic content) but then you can use the noscript tag to hide links to these pages which the spiders will follow.
then get onto google sitemaps and submit them all, every week
