Your clients must feel greatly disadvantaged when they open a well-designed competitor's Flash site compared to their ho-hum HTML one.

That's crap! The spirit of this article is one that will lead to solutions, and the author presents good solutions and ideas, whether they can be proven remains to be seen. External files for text written in XML and XSL, HTML, and CSS seem to use a lot more identifiers similar to HCard micro-formats for addresses, dates, and location identifiers, which seem to demonstrate specifics that the search robots can pull and use directly on the search engines. What I am concerned about SEO and Flash is load times; regardless of CMS a website needs to load fast. Some of the current solutions for ranking a Flash site are bulky containing wrapping a Flash site with HTML. The load times could really keep a site down. A lot of research to be done on my part though. Keep up the good work and keep the solutions coming. Thanks. Great discussion for sure, except for the folks who post spam replies! That’s crap!
