John, If your main concern is SEO, then the second approach described here (http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Silverlight-SEO.aspx ) should work nicely. It basically involves using XSLT to extract the content from XAML and display it as SEO friendly mark up for search engines. I'm sure that you could use a similar approach for browsers that did not have the SL plug-in installed, but I'm also sure that will take a bit more work to make it a reality. You'll probably also find this interesting. http://xmldocs.net/seo/
Hope that help!

Anyway know of a website rendering multiple pages of content that provides a W3C compliant HTML version when the device can't use Silverlight? I have a client wanting to publish a book using a nice Silverlight interface but still want the content available for SearchBots and those not wanting or unable to install the runtime. The concept we proposed is to publish two versions, use # tags for navigation in Silverlight, detect if not supported and redirect to HTML version following similar URL structure with links to view/install Silverlight. The concept is simple enough, no matter what link people bookmark others will get to the same content, the user must choose to use the richer interface if they end up on the HTML version. Is there a better way? Thanks, John. ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
