Designing with Search engine optimization for Silverlight and Ajax in mind

This is and is not a tricky thing. Depending on the different search engine strategies you have to set up at best plan of action. I do not know the answer to this and it is probably an subject to constant change. But it would be nice with some feedback on this issue. The fact’s today is that search engines do not read any complex javascript or any markup language like XAML.
After reading different blogs there are 3 thing, in my mind, that will help us on the way:  The site map,  URL rewrites and using tag to describe the content. There are written some interesting blogs which I base this upon.
