: Is it possible to keep google from using certain text as keywords? For example, on my site I have a lot of flash content. But, I made sure to put plenty of keywords each meta description

If you're not coming up for searches you consider relevant, it's not because you rank well for privacy and TOS searches or because those pages are large. It's because each page is judged on its own merit and your pages aren't (in Google's opinion) deserving of ranking well for those searches. Ranking well for one search phrase does not preclude a page from ranking well for other search phrases.

If you want your pages to rank well you will need to do a lot more then have good meta tags (useless for SEO), title, alt images, etc. You'll need to have good content that drives links to your pages. This is especially true if the search phrases you want to rank well for a competitive in any way.

In your case you're handicapped by using Flash for your content. Flash is not SEO friendly. Yes, Google can crawl Flash but you lose out on important SEO tools like semantic markup and internal linking. Basically you're going to need to hope that users find your flash content good and worth linking to. Maybe you can put some content on your pages that explains how they can do that for you? Anything to help that along is a good thing.
