well, you don’t have much for meta keywords, and there is zero actual text on the index page for the search engines to pick up.

Also, you have to wait sometimes 3 months for any search engine to find and get your site.

I would recommend much better and extensive keywords in your meta tags, or add some actual html text to your main page.

Search engines cannot pick up flash.
