Flash and Google

[saikatblogger]

Someone has suggested this process to feed content and use flash. Is it a good method? Need your opinion?


<div id="flashcontent">
This is replaced by the Flash content if the user has the correct version of the Flash plugin installed.
Place your HTML content in here and Google will index it just as it would normal HTML content (because it is HTML content!)
Use HTML, embed images, anything you would normally place on an HTML page is fine.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var fo = new FlashObject("flashmovie.swf", “flashmovie", “300″, “300″, “8″, “#FF6600″);
fo.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>
</script>

Generally id="flashcontent" refers to unique content on your page, so the technique sounds good to me. Generally about SEO and Flash I can give you this information.

On this

page, scroll down to the heading "Seo" pluss subheading "Flash" or use page search (CTRL + F + Flash) and hit next some times.

Thanks for the link kgun, I would definitely go through it.

Ok, tell me one thing...does Google crawl the HTML part below <script></script> ?

Yes I think so. Bu in order of priority I would reccommend:
1. Having JS code in an external file.
2. If you have it in your html file, put it at the end of the file.
