I have confusion that whether Google Crawler can crawl flash code and can a flash site be optimized in same manner as without having flash.
Google has the ability to extract links from Flash files, said Matt Cutts, Software Engineer at Google. "In fact, in our own internal testing, we were able to extract more than 50% more links from Flash files than by using the standard Macromedia developer's kit that some other search engines use.
maybe this will help you http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/improved-flash-indexing.html
I have heard that we have to put some type of code before flash code begins. Do any one has that code and can you please guide me for the same??
your Seo performance is limited if you use flash site.Google even not able to crawl flash site properly.
Flash is terrible for SEO... If your site is based on SEO and is fully flash you will have huge problems unless you create two identical version of the site one for flash users and one for none flash users (search engines).
I have the same problem i am doing seo of flash site. We have include some java code for google search engine. this is my website code "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <meta name="description" content="We are a client-focused integrated advertising, marketing communication and printing management agency delivering innovative and cost-effective marketing solutions and advice to a diverse range of clients in both private and public sectors."> <meta name="keywords" content="360 Creative,creative,website,marketing,branding,advertisment,UAE,US,Marketing Consultants,Advertising Agency"> <title>Marketing Consultants, Advertising Agency</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="skin.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobj.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="fitobj.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = false; var params = { allowfullscreen: "true" }; var attributes = { }; swfobject.embedSWF("f360n9.swf", "swf_src", "1200", "700", "8.0.0","", flashvars, params, attributes); swffit.fit("swf_src",0,0); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-16985175-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

can be, it depend upon Google. It is a Google strategy that how will that treat to flash based sites.
The scalable solution is to create two identical version of the site one for flash users and one for none flash users (search engines).
