Using your most competitive keywords on this page will help benefit the website's overall page rank and traffic. Splash pages are quite frankly a waste of time. What is the point of them, other than to redirect you to the homepage?. Most use flash animations as an introduction to the website - this is pointless. It would be much better to use flash on separate pages. I think that the main reason websites are not constructed properly is because they are rushed or not planned thoroughly enough.

If anyone hasn't read the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Me-Think-Usability/dp/0321344758/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-0018249-9802470?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185212032&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">"Don't Make Me Think"</a> - you should buy it now and read it. It has a lot of useful info on site usability, you may not necessarily know. I wanted to offer a great book resource on this topic, just to supplement all the good points you made Julie.

If someone wants to visit your homepage don't make them work even harder, or wait longer, to get there. Can I add “Don’t use a splash page.”?
