Adobe helping search engines crawl FLASH content!

Having a full Flash based website is a taboo for most webmasters, It would mean a SEO disaster. For years WWW consultants have been advising corporates to avoid a full Flash based website. But things are about to change!

Techspot is reporting that Adobe is assisting google and yahoo search engines to crawl and index flash content (SWF) on the web. Apparently Adobe has provided Google and Yahoo an optimized version of the Flash Player that scans the content inside the SWF files. Google already has this system live and Yahoo plans to integrate it soon.

The word from Google is that they are currently able to scan "textual content in Flash files" but not Video and other animation (images etc).
