Does google track links with Flash?

Question

Our Flash widget is quite popular on the Internet. There is a link to our website embedded in the widget. Does Google indicate this link as a backlink to the site?

Answer 1

Adobe openly published SWF format specifications some time ago, so indexing Google Flash files will improve over time.

Check out this Adobe article: SWF Search . They also recommend reading an article on a Google blog previously recommended by Lucero called Improved Flash Indexing .
