SEO RULE NUMBER 1

I HATE FLASHING content on the internet more than anything else. It drives me insane while I am trying to read REAL content. Someone screaming in your
face EVERY SECOND,

Search Engine Optimization RULE #1 is -
Do not annoy your visitor with vexing distractions -
No flashing, blinking or movement of ANY kind.
If you are obnoxious to your visitor, you have lost.
(I realize that this is not SEO, per se, but if
your intent is to attract and retain as much web traffic as possible,
your first consideration should be NOT to piff anybody off).
A web page with annoying distractions is NEVER optimized.
I am on the internet 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I detest ANY MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER on my screen,
other than that caused BY MYSELF.
I no longer tape card stock to my screen so I can read text
(in forums, I skip the posts of annoying newbie posters with animated avatars).
"Here is something I want you to read, but while you are reading,
I am going to poke you with my finger, until you stop."
Brilliant!
So Mr. Marketer, take heed.
You will NEVER sell me anything, if you produce constant movement on my screen.
I will leave IMMEDIATELY.
Some of the largest companies sites are the worst offenders -
They have no clue.
And to every other webmaster -
Just because you CAN do something, does not mean that you SHOULD!
Flash me, and I am GONE, if I can't easily scroll past your worse-than-useless distraction.
Distraction for the sake of distraction.
INSANITY!
Graduate from the Bush League.
Your visitors want to read what you have to say,
not observe how irritating you can be.
