Re: [flexcoders] Flex Apps and Google/Search Engines
Does anyone have any information or links about how successful Google and other search engine bots are at crawling Flex Apps? Some of the possibilities for creating online shopping experiences are fantastic, but it has occurred to me that this area of search engine ranking may stumble Flex's adoption in the ecommerce area. Has Adobe considered this or do you have any thoughts on this topic that you would like to share? Flash 8 swfs and above support Metadata. Google for flash 8 swf metadata. I am not sure how google or other search engines use this information though. The mxmlc compiler lets you set metadata.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Apps and Google/Search Engines
Amazon.com and eBay are (arguably) apps and it makes sense to crawl them. Depends on what data you have inside your app and whether you want to make sections of the app or products in the database public, available, and/or easily locatable.
