hi I have been implementing swfobject for some time now and am a big
fan of how accessible it makes a site that would otherwise contain a
lot of javascript sniffing, but I was wanting to know what the current
thoughts are relating to SEO.

>From my position it works on all areas, it makes it easy to add flash
to a page, it also allows me to provide alternate content easily and
deal with non javascripters and non flashers but I am often being told
by a SEO person that it is not ideal at all and that I should always
be providing alternate content via the <noscript> tag rather than
adding it to a div and having swfobject replace it with the flash.

I have seen posts about similar concerns in the past but no one has
anything definite to say about it.

Obviously there are people that could take advantage of swfobject and
provide seo friendly alternate content for google and then replace
that with something else entirely, but for me using the <noscript> tag
to provide alternate content just doesn't seem as friendly as
replacing it via swfobject.
