Everything that you stated is something that I read during my research. Alot of experts have stated that content is whats going to get you through to where you want to be. And since this is something that seems to be the most popular, thats what I'm sticking to. At the same rate, now we need to juggle how to write proper content to get the search engines coming back and ranking you.

I don't understand how people figure doing flash content is going to get them anywhere. Yeah it looks pretty but see more after all the flash is gone, then what?

So I'm guessing that everything that you tried over a 10 year period should be avoided? None of it worked? None of the things you did, helped you in any way?

So basically what you are saying is that it's not as hard as everyone is making it seem. Because that is what 'm getting from your comment. Are we making it more difficult than we should? Is it as simple as creating good, relevant content?
