Hi Emily,
You seem to have covered what John Alexander has mentioned in Tips i’ve received over the last 14 months. My 5 page website is still not arranged quite right and I have no strong related backlinks.
I try to understand W3C which you did not mention, in relation to CSS. I illustrate over 300 paintings on an all-Flash website connected directly to the xhmtl CSS site from each of the 5 pages. You mentioned Google can now read Flash sites. This is puzzling as I thought java was unreadable to Google?? I have in fact a robots text file on my Flash site to ensure Google does not visit it. Is this now superflous?
Cheers and kind regards,

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for your question and comment; this was a brief interview and not all aspects of SEO can be covered in such a short session. Google can read flash sites and I have a client that has benefited from this technology, although I do not recommend using flash if SEO is an objective. Google can also parse javascript (different thanot to be confused with the Java development platform) files but is still having trouble following javascript navigation. Your robots.txt file can tell Google not to visit your site, but it doesn’t mean they won’t do it anyway. You have a PR of 0 so you are in the Google index, you would have to review your log files for robot activity to see who is visiting you.
There is a lot to be said about the subject of SEO, as I’m sure you well know, but I wanted to at least address your couple of questions as best I can.
