I know that flash sites haven't been seo friendly so far. My problem is, I love designing full-flash sites. Do you know if Google plans to implement any new seo solutions for flash developers?
eh,, actually google now can read Flash site. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=p...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a look for the [flash] section.

I visit some site on search result and I find out that site is using flash for graphical interface of the site but for text content they use html. That's why they can still get rank on search engine. Flash is really good in website when it comes to design but for your site content use html.
Flash is now readable by Search Engines, you can optimize flash for search engines using Adobe's Flash search engine SDK and alt tags.
That seems a very cool tool. However, after downloading the swf2html, I have absolutely no idea how it works.... There's a readme file but it's totally confusing. Any idea of how it works?
A great way to SEO a flash site is by having a normal html copy of each page for the bots to crawl. That normally does the trick rather nicely.
Jim is absolutely right and this process has been documented well at http://www.jehochman.com/articles/seo-friendly-flash.shtml Also for a more visual example, you can visit http://marketmakerinteractive.com/ to see the underlying HTML. When you turn off JavaScript, the flashobject.js will not detect flash and display the optimized HTML to the search engines and users without flash players.
