I tried out various different ways of linking from flash movies and Google read and associated the link text with the destination. There’s a lot of space there for spamming links though :S

Yes correct XHTML would be better still, but an interesting step forward for google all the same

From a user perspective this could be quite useful in giving access to content that would otherwise not have been indexed. On the other hand, it still seems a poor substitute for well formatted XHTML. In the example quoted, several pages of content are accessed through the same url (navigated via flash). If these were served as separate HTML documents, users could bookmark relevant sections and search engines could index appropriate URLs.

Nice see a good SERP page on this, and glad to see the end of the single flash file indexing

Nice, I think Adobe will be working hard to work through accessibility. If they do this well then flash will again become a design standard…. Then we won’t need to worry so much about cross browser css compatibility!!!!
