Hemorrhoids From Brazilian Waxing

SEO and Flash? An impossible love (whatever Adobe Mom and Dad want you to believe Google)

Someone else agrees with what I said here and here about the much-hyped indexing Flash content.

Testing Crawlability with Hope
That's what you're doing with Flash content for SEO - Hoping. Google's Flash-crawling technology is proprietary, and while we all know can test and see what search engines and links from a content perspective in HTML, there's no "test my crawlability site's Flash file "feature that I'm aware of, leaving us very much in the dark about Exactly how the engine's going to parse your material.

Letter Showing Community Service Was Done

Adobe Flash accessible to search engines. Besides what's the hype?

addition to the aforementioned problems should oppose some other barrier madrigals the brass band parade set in motion by the accessibility of Adobe Flash content to search engines.

First, the crawler of the search engine index n on the swf. built via JavaScript (you know the trick to avoid ' click to activate 'in IE? Good. Him.)

In the second instance, and most importantly, the crawler will not index swf dynamically loaded as external resources nor XML.
Now, anyone with some experience in Flash Development is well aware that, not to go crazy with that mess in the timeline of Flash and to optimize the loading time (and a lot of other needs), and adjust steps to upload dynamic sections of the website. As far as I know the majority of Flash sites adopted just this approach. The more complex the site is so much more is needed this mode. Often you load in the first instance only the general framework (the UI standard) and then, upon user input, load the rest.
Well, as things only the first part will be crawled. Id est, un bel nulla. La presunta Home Page e poi il vuoto.
In altre parole nessuna moderna RIA verrebbe indicizzata, checché ne dica Adobe, a meno di non caricare l'impossibile in prima istanza.
Forse Adobe sta pensando come modello di RIA ai fulgidi esempi di Flash RIA di cui si é resa portabandiera con Acrobat.com che ci mette 5 minuti buoni (su di una fibra ottica) per caricare la UI?
Per quale tipologia di Flash site va bene questa presunta indicizzazione? Per i Flash sitarelli self contained. Detto altrimenti, coloro che meno avrebbero bisogno di essere indicizzati.

E se poi adottate un loader con caricamento dinamico via Actionscript di risorse esterne? Oh beh! quanto siete difficili!

Quanto rumore per nothing!

Trigger Flashes Finally, A Book That Gets It....

Adobe Flash accessible to search engines! Safe?

The content of Flash sites now available to search engine spiders. So say .
Drum roll. Trumpeted different. Shouts of joy. And no one has ventured to read between the lines of the press marketingese Adobe.

Adobe is Providing optimized Adobe Flash Player to Google and technolog y Yahoo! enhancement to search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover That information is currently undiscoverable by search engines.


Outside the turn of events in 80 words of the Adobe PR, what we have is: No specific

  • open to all interested developers ma solamente delle indicazioni chiuse per ottimizzare gli spiders.

  • Queste indicazioni sono solo a vantaggio di Google e Yahoo! . Gli altri? Se lo prendono in saccoccia.



Per fare un paragone non ortodosso, é come se le specifiche ottimizzate dell'HTML 5 fossero date solamente ad un gruppo ristretto di webdevs lasciando gli altri con il fondoschiena nell'acqua ed andare poi sbandierando la notiziona della release di HTML 5 ai quattro venti su tutti i canali possibili per ostentare il 'proprio commitment' e risollevare le sorti di una tecnologia affossata dalle critiche (giustificate).
Gli altri webdevs avrebbero le solite specifiche mentre alcuni, privilegiati, avrebbero un vantaggio competitivo su questi ultimi.
Tutti sono uguali ma alcuni sono più uguali di altri.

Il tutto condito con tanto di giustificazione di quanto finora accaduto mettendo artificialmente nello stesso calderone tutti gli altri in modo da distinguersi in positivo con l'annuncio. Prima affermo stronzate tirando nella mia propria situazione tutte le altre tecnologie e poi mostro che io, a differenza delle altre tecnologie, sto facendo qualcosa per combattere la situazione di cui sopra.

RIAs and dynamic Web content have been generally difficult to fully expose to search engines because of their changing states — a problem also inherent in other RIA technologies


Bullshit.
E 'false the first position (the other technologies do not have any problems with Adobe Flash) and is therefore false consequent (Adobe is not doing nothing but trying to catch up on other technologies).
PR lesson: how to turn a disadvantage into advantage with a simple turn of phrase.

certainly a good marketing operation and a great PR effort. The facts are left out of that competition goes to hell as well as the possibility for Social Networks (which means the rising tide on the Internet) using Adobe Flash and consistently maintain the ability to operate internal investigations.
In the field the more I would also like to continue to be impossible to use Adobe Flash on RIA Business (intranet and Web Applications closed anyway) where they must then go to look for specific content. A

when opening a total gift of this package, Adobe?
