Mark, you may hear different things about this issue, but the fact is that 

getting a 'flash-only' site listed on a popular engine is a bitch.  The 

best thing you can do is also develop a Vanilla site in addition to your 

'flash-only' site or a hybrid version that utilizes both flash and 

HTML.  Even then, getting top ten listings can be daunting.


As distasteful as it is, even Yahoo is now offering better placement for 

$.  Second only to word of mouth it is probably the cheapest form of 

marketing available.
