Good News for SEO

[johnafrankllin]

Hi,
I think this is really a good news for those SEO who hate to take a Flash Site for Promotion. See what google has said today:

Official Google Blog: Google learns to crawl Flash

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Improved Flash indexing

good news?
I don't know, I think it just makes everything more complex ...

Text is still the format of choice though!

I think that's a good news for those websites that have flash designs.

OK, Google can crawl flash sites, but what about onsite seo techniques? Are they working in flash? I don't think so...

It is a common view that:

Flash is a tool frequently used for the sole purpose of demonstrating how clever the designer is and a by-product of this is to appropriately inflate the size of the bill.

Some may say this, I couldn't possibly comment.

I doubt it will have much value other than keyword count. They will have a hard time deciphering levels of priority or value in content.

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask one simple question regarding this news from google.
Is it not true "Something is better than nothing"

Regards
John

text format is still much better in term of optimization... flash based site are really cool, in terms of it appearance, graphics... but it won't really help the on site optimization if you have no control of the site(like some seo's)...
