Google doesn't index anything af the hash value (#) so this doesn't work in a larger more dynamic websites since it looks like all content is provided in the single HTML source. I'm also dubious of Google indexing content inside of a SWF since I haven't seen any sites that are full-flash enabled with this...though I would love to see some! :)
IMO for SEO, HTML is the easiest way to achieve it. Flash/Flex makes things difficult but achievable. SWFAddress uses a nice technique but I've also heard good things about the Gaia Framework. A site I am working on currently uses the SWFAddress technique where you provide an SEO friendly URL and then redirect to the hash value URL. For example: SEO URL: http://www.yourdomain.com/us/catalog/some-product/ SWFAddress URL: http://www.yourdomain.com/us/catalog/#/someproduct/ Kris On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Carlos Rovira<[email protected]> wrote: > > > You could go with a full flex site that support SEO.
