HaI hadn’t yet to think about the ultimately simple ways Google operates.

Thanks for checking out my blog and the post! Here are a few things I wanted to be clear on:

1. Googlebot traverses SWFObject and sees content in Flash. Because Flash files are indexed users without Flash may access Flash directly from search results.

2. Because Googlebot traverses SWFObject it doesn’t seem as though it sees underlying (X)HTML pages or content within.

3. Googlebot crawls text content in Flash.

4. Googlebot ignores #anchors like those provided via SWFAddress. As a result Googlebot “sees” a link to http://www.mysite.com/index.html#aboutUs as http://www.mysite.com/index.html.

5. Because Googlebot ignores #anchors, only the URL prior to the anchor will be indexed meaning users may received different content than desired.

Sorry for the not so good news but I hope this information helps…
