I'm out of this conversation, sorry... if I say "start with the search terms you're trying to be found on" and don't get acknowledgment, I'll just bow out now.
(That restaurant sample applet, I have no idea if it's data-fed text or internal text, and don't see mentions of E Coli myself, and that's not the common type of things people are looking for with search engine optimization. Undefined terms make the convo go 'round.) Recap: > Work in Adobe Flex produces SWF files. Text within SWF files can be > found and used by the search engines (contrary to widespread myth). Example: > http://www.google.com/search?q=%22contrary+evidence%22+filetype%3Aswf > > If your content includes material fed in via database, then the search > engine would not usually see that you use those words. > > As with all SEO tasks, you'd first figure what search terms you have a > chance to compete on (eg, you will never appear on the first page of > results for search terms like "buy flowers online").
