Search Engines Begin Crawling/Indexing Adobe Flash Files
July 2, 2008 – 10:49 amThis week Adobe, in conjunction with Google and Yahoo, announced that they have begun work on some changes that will allow the search engines to crawl and index Flash flies, making it much easier to index and rank full flash websites. This will have major implications for the SEO world, because previously the rule of thumb was to minimize the amount of Flash used in a site because of the crawling difficulties. Now, Flash menus, intros, and all sorts of Flash content will make this technology acceptable for SEO purposes.
