Google/Yahoo Able to crawl flash sites

[BullsEye]

Discuss? I personally didn't even know they couldn't be properly indexed til now, but i'm also a noob so

Is this going to create a flood of sites now that are gonna try and knock out my first page rankings you think?

Here's the question. How good are they at detecting off page keyword stuffing?

Why Adding More Flash Apps To Google Won't Help Much

Implies they can manipulate state and save it for bookmarks. When someone searches for "red shoe" they expect a page with red shoes- so there needs to be some way to send the user into a state where "red shoe" has been selected.

I still maintain that it'd be easier just to provide the info the user wants.

For me it means that 100% flash sites will soon be on fashion again... among those who don't know SEO.
