Search engine optimization for Flash

Posted September 10th, 2009 by brad_strickland

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Flash. Flash came along at a time when web development felt very restrictive for a creative person. Now in a world where web standards are spoken as gospel. Flash seems to have less and less of a role to play. Its biggest obstacle is the lack of good SEO optimization. Adobe, Google and Yahoo have been working to change that. As described in the below article excerpt.

This article contains excerpts from Search Engine Optimization for Flash, which dispels the myth that SWF-based websites won’t show up in a web search by demonstrating exactly what you can do to make your site fully searchable. You’ll learn best practices for using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—as well as SWFObject—for building sites with SWF content that will stand tall in search rankings.
