Can anyone send me on the right road to SEO?

[UkEllie]

I want to find out more about SEO and how it works and the best way to go about making it happen with a site that I own.

Much appreciated

The basic rule in SEO is to design a site for the user, not for the search engines.

Your content must be compelling, accessible and unique - this is a key ingredient in getting links. Make sure people can link to specific content.

SEO is not something you can do on a 1 month period; it is and will be an ONGOING effort on your part. Search engines change their algorithms, so what works now may not work 6 months from now and you could be delisted from the search engines' database.

Forums and blogs are the best resource in SEO because they attract the SEO people who lives, breathes and sleeps SEO. They can help you keep track of every hiccup and movement of search engines

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

WebmasterWorld.com http://www.webmasterworld.com has different sections that cover various aspects of search engine optimization, and each section is participated in by respected webmasters and even search engine employees (e.g. there's a GoogleGuy that responds to Google topics).

Other resources that can help you get top ranking in the search engines are:

Google Press Releases http://googlepress.blogspot.com/
Matt Cutts Blog http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ (Matt is a Google software engineer)
