Ok, you really don't need to know everything about SEO to do a non-terrible job of ranking. Do these things and you can get traffic with SEO. 1. Title tags that get clicks (not kw stuffing or plain exact match) 2. Write content that is unique and semi-frequent. (update once a week or so at least) 3. Acquire links. #1 and #2 are the basics that you need to do to even have a shot to show up for a given query. #3 is what is going to get you on the first page. You can do #3 by having great content and doing social promotion, using email newsletters to blast your content out to people so they can share it, or if you're in a boring industry and nobody likes you, you can buy or build links via the numerous link building services out there that can hit any number of link sources. At the end of the day, natural links are viewed as better, but paid links can get the job done in some cases. Given a certain bar of content quality, the quantity and volume of links is still the most important ranking factor on Google and Bing as far as I can tell.
