Do a Google search for Search Engine Optimization. It's all about keywords, page TEXT content, etc.

Flash-based pages get horrible search engine results. Although there are projects to try to fix this, none have proven reliable yet.

Hello there and you make some good valid points in your post by the questions you asked.

For starters, you can use the MySQL Home page (http://www.mysql.com) to begin learning about MySQL. A book that might also help you out can be located here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1893115577/qid=1058126947/sr=1-31/ref=sr_1_31/102-4286137-2623350?v=glance&s=books)

A lot of what resources you would use to learn MySQL depends on your overall exposure to SQL in general and your knowledge of databases. No matter whose SQL engine you are using, there is a core set of SQL commands that remain the same across the board to comply with the ansi standards. From there each vendor tweaks theirs or adds to it special functions to make it more desirabel to use their brand of SQL over the others.

I do not know just yet a timetable on when this will happen, but I do plan to offer some SQL class(es) on line through my web site to help those that need and want to learn it a way to learn it. I am still developing the material at this time so I am not ready to begin the classes yet.

For PHP, you might start with the PHP home page (http://www.php.net) and The PHP Builder (http://www.phpbuilder.com) site.

In terms of books to learn PHP from, you might try looking into Beginning PHP4 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764543644/qid=1058127252/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-4286137-2623350?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) or PHP and MySQL Web Development (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/067232525X/qid=1058127314/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-4286137-2623350?v=glance&s=books) as two good resources. Even though the Beginning book doesn't have MySQL in its name, it does cover aspects of MySQL in relation to how to use PHP to connect up to it and query the database and update it.

If you want to extend your research further, give Beginning PHP4 Databases (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861007825/qid=1058127389/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-4286137-2623350?v=glance&s=books) a try. I have not acquired this partucilar book yet, but I do intend to once I complete the Beginning PHP4 book. The reason I am looking at both of these books is I am evaluating them as likely candidates to use in my on line courses. The databases book starts at ground zero from my research reading and builds a knowledge of databases in the reader. What I like in the overview of the book is that it is supposed to show the proper way to construct object oriented databases to prepare the reader for PHP5 when it is released so that you can write your prorams in such a way that they can utilize any SQL type database engine and not keep you tied to just one specific vendor.

I hope this has helped you out some and I am glad you asked the question. Someday when another person asks that question, I hope to be able to point them to my site and show them the on line classes that I can offer to help out. Until then keep posting away and we will all learn as we go.
