Adobe Launches SEO Technology Center for Flash - Search Marketing News Blog - Search Engine Watch (SEW)

2009-03-20T12:43:00.000-07:00

"In the not-so-distant past, sites built using Adobe's Flash technology were invisible to search engines. Both search engines and SEOs have continued to work on ways to make those pages show up better in search results. Last summer, Adobe lent a hand, by providing its Flash technology to Google and Yahoo to help them figure out how to better index sites and pages created with Flash.

This week, Adobe went a step further, launching a new SEO Technology Center for Flash to help developers and other content creators build Flash applications in more search-friendly ways. The site, part of the Adobe Developer Connection, explains current SEO challenges and provides practical steps, examples, and best practices to overcome them."

A good step for all. Good for Search Engines. Good for Adobe. And good for those of us who use Flash so it can be found by Search Engines.
