Once the data is uploaded, you can edit it as much as you like through the image information panel within the editSuite. - Image Title and Description – Use this feature to display image details to site visitors by entering image title and description. By using automated metadata upload, this can automatically be done for you at the time of upload. Having this information on your site can also enhance your search rankings, as it is included in your automatically generated HTML site.
- Search Landing Page – This optional new HTML page can be used as a quick snapshot to capture search engine viewers and entice them to view the full website. The page enables you to customize content to target search engine traffic with specific keywords and almost all links on the page will drive visitor traffic to the Flash site.
