[Laszlo-user] search engine-friendly Laszlo applications

[Elliot Winard]

How much work has gone into making OpenLaszlo-fronted web applications 
more easily indexible by search engines?

I've been talking to drupal developers and people at content sites like 
meetup.com and outside.in, video and social-networking sites like 
blip.tv and non-profits like Greenpeace about RIAs.  They're interested 
in creating rich front-ends for their sites but only if the rich 
front-end can degrade to something that bots can crawl and Google can 
index.  Search engine exposure is *very* important to them because most 
people find out about info on these sites through Google. 

How much thought has gone into making OpenLaszlo-based apps 
search-friendly?  I see this as a two different problems - making the 
Laszlo app itself indexable using something like the Flash Search Engine 
SDK *and* always publishing a set of non-RIA crawlable pages in addition 
to the Laszlo app.  The problem is one of providing a good user 
experience to users and a good search engine experience to search 
engines.  I'm not sure that the expense of forked development and extra 
maintenance imposed by having an RIA in parallel with their HTML-based 
sites is worth it much of the time.

Any thoughts on searchability of OpenLaszlo-based applications?
Thanks,
