Start out by getting a good domain name. That is to say, one that is very relevant to what you are promoting. few sites can use makeup names that have nothing to do with their sites.
SEO is search engine optimization. I other words, what can you do to bring your site to the forward most pages of a web search. There are obviously many web services that will charge for this, but many you can do yourself.
There are good, white hat and bad black hat strategies. Using a black hat strategy will make things worse or ban you al together.
Google has a secret algorithm that it does not share. But common knowledge would have this it is a combination of your URL, keywords, content and back links coming into your website.
Your key strategy is to break down those 4 and make them the best you can. But keeping in mind that it is for the audience you are designing for, not search engines.
The first thing is keyword analysis. Then make sure you have relevant and unique content. You will get sick of hearing after a while how content is king. But the best and most content will many times win out.
After that directory submissions. You will then be off to a good start.
Good Luck with your SEO!

SEO is essentially the art of increasing website traffic to boost revenue and sales by increasing your rank and visibility on the search engines.
Firstly, you need to optimize your site with some SEO friendly URLs. Namely, you need URLs with simple words and non-complex directories that we can direct traffic to. This is the first step.
Next what you want to do is take some original Content or Articles and post them to some high ranking directories such as Squidoo. You will feel these articles with backlinks to your site. These links will help increase your rank with the search engines.
That’s just one way of handling SEO and it’s in a nutshell. There’s a great deal more to the process. I would recommend you contact an SEO Firm like http://aionmarketing.com/ to learn more and see what they can offer you.
A good SEO firm will have in-house writers who can provide professional written content as well as link-builders. Don’t be suckered in by freelancers or those who use outsourced writing.
Best of luck!
