That's why asking for something complex to be explained in a few lines is rarely a good idea.

There is a reason why people write whole books on the subject, and it isn't just to pad a few lines out. Well, not always.

I think your on/off switch isn't working correct.

SEO play a vital role in IM. SEO can be divided in two way Onpage & Offpage.

For Onpage you can use meta tag , meta description, use keyword density 5-6%in your site . Keep in mind content is king for SEO.
For Offpage create quality backlink.

1a. Google hasn't used meta tags in ranking for 6-7-8 years now.

1c. How does the theory of keyword density work with dynamic pages where the words, text and picures all change? For example, a search for "Los Angeles news" brings up the LA Times website. The content on the LA Times homepage changes daily, yet the rank of the page remains pretty constant, at #1. How does keyword density affect the LA Time homepage?

SEO Basics:

1. Keyword research - The newer you are to SEO, the more you should concentrate on keywords with low competition.

2. Put lots of words that people search for that can make you money on lots of pages.

3. Get lots of links to those lots of pages that use words people search for that can make you money.

4. Repeat lots of times.

SEO is about numbers. How many pages does Google have in its index? What percentage of those pages are yours?

Google indexes lots of links. How many of those links point to your pages?

The first step in SEO is to increase your "market share" for words, pages and links, using keyword research to optimize your efforts.

My best suggestions are get your onsite seo basics done right...I am amazed at how many clients I take on that come from other seo companies only to see no H1 tags, bad relevancy, and meta tags.

Then just start building links.

Thats the basics...After that it turns half science and half theory.

One basic in search engine optimization is that you cannot explain it in "just a few lines".

First of all, there are two TYPES of SEO. ONPAGE SEO is about doing some things on your own website's webpages (codes/tags and content) so the search engines will immediately determine what your website is all about (keywords), and the search engines can then evaluate your website according to your target market/audience. OFFPAGE SEO is the process of getting "votes" in favor of your website - in the form of links pointing to your website or "backlinks - which will then determine your relevance regarding the topic/audience of your website, or your rankings for search terms (keywords).

Now, I believe that the more important type of SEO is OFFPAGE. I look at onpage SEO as part of the "product development" phase of an online business. On the other hand, offpage SEO pretty much covers all of the "promotion" phase. Even if you have the product which can change the world, if no one knows about your product, then it is almost equivalent to that product being non-existent.

These are for ONPAGE SEO only.

Now, for OFFPAGE SEO:
1. Article Marketing
2. Social Bookmarking
3. Blog Research & Commenting
4. Forum Link Building
5. Video Marketing
6. Social Network & Media Marketing
7. RSS Marketing
8. Pinging

I will be finishing my write-up about this in my blog - I will update you warriors after I posted it. Hope this helps.
