Hi, EGO7's Flash CMS, CMSmx, allows for deep linking and search engine indexable flash content. I would like to know how this is done, without breaking any search engine optimization rules.
I looked at one of the indexed pages, and it looks like the content that's loaded into flash is also loaded into a hidden frame as just html text. Technically, I know how to do these things, I am just totally lost when it comes to understanding how search engines spider websites, especially when there is dynamic content and query strings involved. I want to know how to do this to build a toolkit for making flash sites indexable. I will be using this tool for building indexable sites for our clients, it will also be an open source toolkit that I will distribute, because I believe that a strong future for flash content on the web includes indexable content, with as much browser support as can be implemented (browser back/forward functionality, and deep linking), and so, I believe that it's important to provide flash developers with a toolkit that streamlines these features. Check it out: http://www.google.com/search?hs=1Xv&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=strength+is+our+exclusive+talent+pool+deeply+committed+to+engineering&btnG=Search It's the first result, and it will even take you to the page when you click on it! I must admit, EGO7 has done a great job, however, I feel like it's no secret to the flash coders list. Only the hardest core post here! Thanks for taking the time to read my post. If there is any insight at all that you could provide, please do. If there are any theories, I'd love to hear them.
