I agree – flash is bad for websites. With the advancements in css and onset of HTML 5 – its use will reduce significantly, and justly so.
But search engines do index flash content. At least Google does. Al though I doubt it gives them same importance as HTML stuff.

Hey,

Thanks for sharing the info. I do agree that flash isn’t too SEO friendly and wouldn’t help with your rankings much, rather bring it down.

Despite Google improved their crawling support for Flash i believe the best websites should still avoid Flash!

Most people despise flash, obviously, for usability reasons. It may looks stunning but it will take time to load in your browser.

This article is helpful to those people who already invested in flash. At least, there is still a remedy for this problem.

There is an obvious temptation to use flash in website design because of its ease of use and versatility. This can be great if the website or blog is there for branding purposes, but as far as Google is concerned it has no way of rating the relevance of your flash for ranking purposes so just ignores it.
