SEO for Flash websites just got easier. 
For years Flash (what is Flash?) in a website has meant that a search engine couldn’t read the content or links. This forced online marketers engaged in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to take time consuming precautions to work around the Flash.
Leave it to Google to work with Adobe (previously called Macromedia Flash) to read the rich multimedia websites developed in Flash. Now that Google can read Flash, SEO for Flash is going to become a more popular topic. Of course, online marketers will still want to ensure the content and links are relevant and score well by the Google algorithm for keyword search on Google.com. Don’t forget… there are 2 other search engines that Online Marketers will still have to work around when considering SEO for Flash. No word on when Yahoo and Microsoft may jump on the band wagon.

very informative post… you might also find this article to be of some use as well – reading it certainly changed the way i handle things now. best of luck and i look forward to reading future posts from you!
Content/links on a website hasn’t been worth much for a long time. Backlinks are what will get you to the top, and of course great title tags.
A lot of SEOs shy away from Flash websites because they think ‘no content’ means no rankings. Content on a website has been outdated for some time now, and everyone now know that backlinks is King!
