Making Flash websites searchable

Earlier this week, I ran into a very good article that summarized the best practices to help make Flash websites searchable.

Though Google claims the opposite, Search Engines are mostly "blind" to Flash websites. Think of it as the same problem faced in the world of Artificial Intelligence: having computers tell the context within visual (photo, video) content -it's a very tough problem that, to this day, still has few good solutions, most of which are partial and limited.

So, Jeff Kamerer, a computer scientist who has worked on the Flash authoring team since 2002 authored a simple yet fairly complete article where he summarizes the easiest things for you to do to help Search Engines find your Flash-based website. And the nice thing is that most of them don't entail rewriting your Flash application!
