I've been subscribed to Entireweb's newsletter for a while now and picked up
a lot about SEO
http://www.entireweb.com/newsletter/
It seems mainly that good design - cutting back on JS, frames,
images-instead-of-text, use of heading a paragraph tags, writing efficient
html - is what will be good for your site rating. There are lots of tricks
and cheats, but they tend to get found out. And remember, I never use a
search engine to find my "staple" sites - I found out about Google,
Freecycle and Gumtree from friends, not search engines! A memorable name and
a good site and good service is better than being in the top ten but not
getting any custom.
For more of that kind of advice (intermingled with the occasional "get top
ranking" email that goes against all the good advice) sign up to the
entireweb newsletter.
