    Hello,
    A few SEO queries: I have a flash based index page (large image with just 2 buttons and no content) that leads to a home.html on clicking. Do i place the meta tags on index or home? This is a retail products site that has 10 products on the products page.
    So for submissions, which page do I give? Index,home or products?

    Try to avoid flash. If you cannot avoid that, add some normal contents to the page. Let the contents speaks about your services and delivers quality keywords. This will help you.

    i never seen a flash site rank well, although google says they can crawl flash content. its best for you redo the home page without flash.

    for now product page submission probably be more effective.

    Yes, you can use title & meta tags for the flash website. Try to get more backlinks for a flash website by doing off-page optimization

    YOU can use a HTML based structure in addition to Flash.Its better to use HTML title tags and all hyperlinks using HTML.

    Work on home and the products. If you're selling skateboard and someone searches 'birdhouse skateboard', you should have optimised your birdhouse product page to rank for this, not your home page. Your home page should rank for 'skateboards'. Obviously change this to suit your site's genre.

    As for the Flash page, if you can then get rid. If it's a client's site I appreciate that they can sometime be a nuisance and 'know better' about these things, but try your best to persuade them, it's doing nothing but dragging you down.

    If using flash is a necessity then try to do it through adobe... "made flash crawlable" but still flash is a bad choice.....

    try to wrap the flash with some content...........
