For years, the advice has always been that if you want good search engine results, then you don't want to create your website entirely with Flash, because search engines have no way of effectively indexing swf files. Well, all of that is about to change.
Adobe just announced that they are teaming up with Google and Yahoo in order to address this issue. Adobe has supplied these search industry leaders with technology that will allow them to index swf files in a way that has never been possible before. In fact, Google has already started implementing this technology, and as I understand it, Yahoo won't be too far behind.
"But wait," you say. "I thought search engines already had a way to index swf files."
Well, you're right, but up until now, they could only index the static information and static links within your swf file. With this new technology, even the dynamic content of your Flash files will be open to search engine indexing, making it infinitely more possible for your all-Flash website to achieve top rankings in search engine results.
