Silverlight SEO Testing

This is a demonstration of SEO in Silverlight: all search engines should be able to find SilverlightMichael because it is in HTML.

Search for the term "SilverlightScherotter" in your favorite search engine.

This page transforms the XAML using XSLT into SEO-friendly XHTML. By putting the translated XAML into <div> element that would be replaced by the Silverlight control, search engines would find the XHTML while browsers with Silverlight installed would see the Silverlight app.


	
	<div
	id="SLHost">

	
	    <asp:Xml
	ID="XHTML"
	runat="server"
	DocumentSource="seo.xaml"
	TransformSource="XAML2XHTML.xslt"
	EnableViewState="False"/>

	
	    <script
	type="text/javascript">

	
	        createSilverlight();
	    </script>

	
	</div>
