Flash doesn't have to be SEO unfriendly, but when in the hands of someone not aware of SEO standards, it is. A fresh college graduate desiring a career in web design and development should have known better but I'm meeting a lot of students like my relative who graduate without some of these most basic standards. Then there are huge sites relying totally upon Flash without thinking it through. Visit the <a href="http://www.scifi.com/" rel="nofollow">SCI-FI Channel</a> and you will have nothing to work with if you have Flash turned off. I get nothing but blank screens with no links, navigation, or information to help anyone move around the site without turning Flash on. This is just stupid and short-sighted. They should know better. Yes, Flash can be SEO friendly and meet accessibility standards, if the human behind them thinks about it. Aaron, you are right.

Flash was from the start a tool for special features and not entire websites. Using flash for a complete website is as foolish as diluting your morning juice until it just looks and taste bland. The same happens to websites. Not only for search engines, but for people as well. Not everyone has access to a flash compatible browser, or the knowledge on how to get one. I couldn’t agree more.

However, the reality is that Flash does not have to be unfriendly for SEO and in fact, Adobe has done a pretty good job of making its tools accessible. So while you may be mostly right, you're not entirely right. Historically, I have been an opponent of flash for the reasons you outline, Lorelle.
