Google Indexing Some Flash Files
July 2, 2008
News that you can use from Google
Today I discovered that Google can now index text content in Flash files. I found this very interesting news. I have never been a fan a flash because the text could not be indexed. This made optimizing a website a very difficult process for many. It often required that an HTML version of the website to be created. This adds a lot of work and expense into building a Flash based website.
So I was very curious to find this Google Update on their Blog http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/.
The post went on to answer very specific question and is worth while reading if you have a flash site. It did not that FLV files that are used on YouTube can not be currently indeed as they have no text available for indexing.
