Adobe helps search engines to handle Flash
For most people on the Web, if Google or Yahoo cannot find something, it doesn’t exist. That has been one of the biggest drawbacks to creating a Website in Flash. Search engines could see the file, but they could not see what was in it. Until now.
Adobe today announced an optimized Adobe Flash Player that will be added to the search engines of Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. under agreements with the two Internet firms. The tool will help the search engines better index dynamic Web content and rich Internet applications (RIA) that include the Flash file format, or Shockwave Flash (SWF).
Becoming visible is one thing, actually ranking highly is another. Google currently can find about 73 million Flash files on the Web. But until Adobe makes it easy for the average Webmaster or blogger to link deeply into those Flash files, they are not likely to appear at the top of many search results.

This is good news, but I think its going to take a while to make a difference for flash sites. I wonder if the sites have to have used some proper tagging during the making of their flash site for the crawler to pick it up.

Even I have heard that Adobe is working with search engines to enhance Flash searches. So all the search engines will be able to spider the flash content also.

Guys your leaving out a piece of the puzzel. They also announced that it only Reads WHAT IT SEE’s to multi layer flash files will only index what it looks at. So they suggest and TAKE NOTES. Build Each Page as its OWN flash file. So home is YOURDOMAIN.com/HOME.HTML
your About goes to YOURDOMAIN.com/ABOUT.HTML with seperate flash files on each page. also try to just use flash in parts of the page. Try to keep SEO onpage and flash for the ‘Jazz’ of the site
-Have a good one!

It’s about time something gets done to help out flash websites. There are plenty of them that are awesome and would deserve more visibility.

Nothing will ever beat good old html if you’re looking to optimize and build your brand from the ground up.
