Re: FLASH: Sniffers & Search Engines:

[John Dowdell]

Different search engines use different mechanisms, rankings, and exclusion

rules... try searching google.com with phrase "search engine secrets" to

pull up a bunch of introductory hits.


Some searching engines take special notice of SWF files... atomz.com was

the first of these, and I recall hearing of two others in the last few

months although I don't recall their names at the moment.


atomz.com Flash FAQ:

(What's interesting here is that they peer inside the SWF to index all

text, and also peer inside any other SWFs referenced via LoadMovie. It's a

fascinating world.... ;-)
