I’ve been reading up recently on the methods that various search engines, such as google, use to rank sites. The subject of crawlers therefore emerged and the way in which they use links within web sites to rank that site. The more links the better the ranking.
The issue for me is that it appears that links within a flash site are embedded within the swf, therefore a crawler would not be able to analyse the scripting behind the swf as it is able to do with html.
What methods can be proposed to ensure that crawlers are able to crawl a flash site for links. I guess adding links via notepad etc would be ok but could detract from design and add unneccessary development time.
Anyone have any ideas??
