Google doesn’t index any deeplink url passed the “Hash mark” (#) or “pound sign”. This was something completely new to me. “A common misconception with a lot of Flash developers using technologies such as SWFAddress for deeplinking.”
Links like:
http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20Software
http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20Language
http://www.rive.be/cms/#/Work%20API
…will not get indexed by Google? Whaat? I found out about this, when watching these Adobe Flash and search engine optimization (SEO) videos at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/seo/articles/flash_seo_videos.html. They’ll go deeper into it (from a developers perspective) in the near future.
Check out the source code of http://www.rive.be or http://www.rive.be/cms/ and you’ll see I was already practising some of these SEO features.
Yep, those # are anchor’s they arent really links. Anchors are references within a static page.
Pages with the # in the URL will get indexed, just not as separate pages, which is the desired effect. One of the methods in SWFAddress to deal with this is to create to seperate pages for each of the URL. The user won’t go to this individual pages, just stay in the first page they reach, but the googlebot will find all these individual pages and index them.
