Translating Flash for search sites
Flash sites and the associated SE indexing woes may soon be a thing of the past....

"Rob Burgess, Macromedia's chairman and CEO, said the company is talking to major search engines, including Google and AltaVista, to help make it easier for their Web page crawlers to index the graphically rich pages of Flash Web sites..."

I have no idea why I didn't see this thread before - I'm glad to see it .. It's about time that flashy content can be indexed. It will however be very difficult and perhaps not something the larger search engines will bother investing in, never mind the smaller one!

Flash Indexing
Google and a few others have learnt how to index flash portions of sites, sometimes entire flash directories.

They do poor to fair job of it though. The noembed tag is completely ignored and if you have flash in an object tag, with not a whole load of relevant text for the bot to eat, then the page will be indexed and show up on Google, but no text will load in the initial description.

The safest bet continues to be to use frames or a SE friendly copy of your page/s for indexing.

Little bit of flishy flashy experience for you.

-Adrian
