Adobe Flex Interfaces and SEO

Adobe recently provided the major search engines with code to "crawl" Adobe Flash user interfaces crafted using the FLEX UI toolkit. The Stomper Scrutinizer uses this Flex UI layer though embedded in the AIR platform.

Our Stomper Universe page, your map to freely available content and tools from Stompernet, uses Flex in a web-page based Flash movie.



Ryan Stewart, evangelist at Adobe, has sponsored a SEO contest to explore how Google is treating permalinks within Flash movies. We're participating with a custom screen inside the universe application. If you visit the universe page with a special parameter, you'll see our entry into the Fleximagically Searchable contest.



Now, those of you that follow along with StomperNet's SEO training, and specifically the how to get double, indented listings will know that inbound links are a key to good ranking, especially in this case. So help us out and link to http://www.stompernet.com/universe/index.html?s=fleximagically-searchable with the anchor text "fleximagically searchable"



Here's the code:

Thanks, and we'll let you know the best practices in SEO for the new Flex way of building Flash applications as they're discovered!
