Here is few short notes to consider while Search Engine Optimization:
1. Don’t use Flash to design a complete website. Some HTML and Text are must. I don’t mean, don’t use Flash.
2. Limite th Meta Keywords and Description. Longer and irrelevant keywords will destroy your site ranks in search engines. Also Meta Keywords are no longer used by Google.
3. Consider SEO in mind on first step in the web design work.
4. Use Permalinks (Fancy URLs) effectively. Mostly try to avoid numbering system. See this post’s URL for example. Many blog systems such as Wordpress and Blogger uses permalinks.
5. Avoid client-side java scripts as possible. Dynamically created contents (by client side scripts) are no longer considered by search engines. (search couldn’t see that content) .

Nice and valuable tips for Search Engine Optimization.
Moreover i completely agree with point 1. Complete flash design loses its value.
the most important thing when doing search engine optimization is get a good amount of backlinks first. when you have a sufficient amount of backlinks, then you can start optimizing in page links, keyword density and other factors which affects your ranking.
