Flash SEO Tool – Simply plug SEO in to any finished flash application

Flash SEO

Unfortunately, you cannot avoid the issue of search engine optimization (SEO) when developing an Adobe Flash-based Flex rich Internet application (RIA) or Flash Website. Fortunately, the Flash SEO Tool is almost here to help ease us into comfort and security.

Peter Gwiazda, the author of this handy app, has this to say about it:

“The Flash SEO Tool lets you add text content for Googlebot to your Flash/Flex site and gives you some SEO optimization capabilities. The idea is to make it as simple as possible. No matter what the source of data is (XML, database, etc.), it lets you create text content the same way. You can probably plug the SEO tool to your finished application.”

On his motivation to create the Flash SEO tool, Gwiazda notes, “In my day-to-day work I see that lack of SEO capabilities is the main argument against rich application interfaces. I had some concepts and experiences with leveraging SEO for Flash platform. Flash SEO Tool is a proof of concept now.”

Gwiazda’s Flash SEO Tool is currently hosted on Google Code and a download will be available soon.
