Good news for all of the creative designers out there that like to develop in flash…Google is now going to be crawling and indexing meta data derived from flash files. Just as soon as I got the news, I had to confer with one of my partners in order to see what the true value add would be.
We are both on the same page…It helps a little, but could be thrown in the same boat as the PDF documents that are currently being indexed. While it’s nice that they are getting a piece of the search real estate, they still will not perform like text based content on a standard html page.
Sorry Flash Devs
