Exactly....Link Popularity....is the key.
However you can build up to atleast a page rank of 4 or 5 without any incoming links, for the most part. Then all your inbound links help light the pathway to the first page of the serp's.
As far as indexing a flash site, you can't. I thought once I had this great way of cheating with flash movies, what I would do is take all of the copy in my flash movie and place it in a <no frames tag. Which for a while worked. However google caught on to what was going on somehow, the website completely dissapeared from the serp's, never to return.
Remember promaintenance4u old?
Anyways I would break the site up and build it out in html. Make the areas where your copy will be html. Use tables for the rest and drop your flash pieces in like that. Once you do it a couple times it's like putting together a puzzle.
As far as testing for aol, from my experience, if it works in ie, it works in aol.
One new issue with 9.0 is once installed it automatically has a pop up locker on. Sites who use popups for marketing, things like that, will have to re-think for future projects. This poses a real problem. The bad part about it for internet marketers is most users think that the popup blocker is a good thing, people who make money from selling them, well...some re-organizing of thoughts are in order.
I myself included........
