Good question, but none, really. It won't affect our SEO - we did this to improve the user experience on the site.

  While it may not have played a major role in your decision, you have to know that this will dramatically improve your SEO. Come on. :)

    Why? Google already indexes flash, and you can include meta-tags in flash as well. As long as you are doing it right, I can be just as informative as html.

      You're right in general with the flash/seo stuff, but they appear to be already extracting all text anyway to present to search engines so maybe there isn't really much advantage: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ggG39gKeE-gJ:www.scribd.com/doc/28600392/Bali-Beyond-Magazine-January-2010-edition+http://www.scribd.com/doc/28600392/Bali-Beyond-Magazine-January-2010-edition&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ggG39gK... One thing that does occur to me is that copy and paste auto attribution link stuff that's getting popular on news sites, something like that could hold more value / less overhead / easier to spread than the awkward embedded widget approach.

    You work for scribd too ?
    • benologist 16y ago
      Do you really have to work for scribd to see the benefit of millions of pages of text? Edit: it turns out they already present the text at least some of the time, but markup and text portability still adds some value (see my comment above).
