Does anyone have a good tips for search engine optimization on a 100%
flash site?

Aside from using meta tags, I can't seem to find any solid information
on how to improve rankings.

Certainly is true that Flash can parse text in swf files. It seems most likely
this is only with dynamic and input text, not static text. And Google have been
able to follow links in swf files for years. But that may not be much help -
It's more the nature of swf files that means they don't do too well in the
search rankings - much is based on the structure of HTML elements and their
content, rather than (so far as search engines are concerned) the arbitrary
content of swf text.

General consensus is meta tags are almost dead. They are still counted of
course (and always will be) and so still worth making use of, but they won't
get you that high place Google slot..

Searching these forums for this kind of topic yeilds some interesting old
posts that are still relevant. I won't bother repeating them here.
