Google announced the partnership with Adobe to start indexing flash sites better. Google is piggybacking on that partnership to also now offer better analytics for flash sites.
For those all-flash sites that used to be a nightmare to analyze, aside from unique visitors, now you can see where people are going around your flash site. This is especially great news for companies like 2Advanced, one of the premiere flash design firms in the world [in my opinion.]
Here’s a quick spin around the block about how the new tracking system will work within Google Analytics.
Great! Now that you’ve settled in a bit with flash tracking, here is a quick breakdown of the initially supported platforms:
- Flash visual component
- Flash AS3 library
- Flex MXML component
- Flex AS3 library
All Flex you say? You bet. Flex is the next generation of where flash is going.
Flash is becoming more and more searchable and measurable everyday — which is definitely a good thing. It really means that older legacy sites will be added to the index and searchable [which is a good thing for everyone.]
