    Can google detect and define keywords embedded in flash sites?
    A discussion took place here on tv this evening as to if search engines can find text/keywords hidden in flash sites. If yes does the language make a difference ?

    thanx for the help

    what do you mean hidden? Do you mean meta data? If so, yes.. but it has little to zero value.

    Hi,,,,no, I dont mean meta data , I mean just simple text like this:http://www.jurtax-frankfurt.de/vk.htm. Its a site of a friend of mine in Germany and they think the text on this page (keywords) can be read by the engines. In fact the page has no meta tags at all the the robots.txt is missing. I always assumed that google engines cant read the with the flash animation.

    Just ran the url through a spider simulator and nothing was recognized. Try adding some meta tags and a <noscript> tag with a site map link to start.
