    lol. If I could explain it in one sentence, I wouldn't have a job right now. :D

    Here are some things you should do your own research on:

    Design:

    1. SEO-friendly website structure
    2. Effects of javascript, flash, frames, etc on SEO
    3. Domain age

    Optimization:

    1. Keyword research (long tail vs broad)
    2. Meta tags
    3. Keyword rich content
    4. ALT tags

    Linkage:

    1. External links
    2. Internal links
    3. Nofollow
    4. Anchor text / contextual links

    Maintenance:

    1. Google, Yahoo + Bing Webmasters
    2. Google analytics

    Probably 90% of seo is the amount of quality backlinks your site has. You can do everything else right, but if you don't get backlinks, you will never rank well. Start getting links!

    As a marketing strategy for increasing a site’s relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site’s coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may include adding unique content to a site, ensuring that content is easily indexed by search engine robots, and making the site more appealing to users. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indexes.

    Here's a reasonably detailed thread on DP which should help you more than random postings.
    All you need to know about SEO

    Read that. Understand it. Read it again if you do not understand it. Ask questions if need be (read the thread in case someone has already asked that same question).

    Write unique content (HIGH PRIORITY)

    Unique content is important too. You need to provide content that has different information than what is on other sites and other Web pages.
    Add new content all the time (HIGH PRIORITY)

    Sites that have new content added on a regular basis are seen as more reliable than sites that rarely do. This also helps you to increase the amount of relevant content on your site, which also improves your rankings.
    Create a great keyword phrase (HIGH PRIORITY)

    The first thing you should do when working on search engine optimization is find a great keyword phrase for that page. You shouldn't try to optimize your entire site to one keyword phrase - instead focus on writing pages for specific keywords and phrases.
    Choose a phrase that is popular, but not too popular (HIGH PRIORITY)

    When trying to decide on a keyword phrase, you want to find one that is popular but not extremely popular. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the reality is that extremely popular keywords are very desirable and so very competitive. It's better to try to optimize for keywords that you can rank higher. You'll get more pageviews from a less popular keyword when you're on the first or second page of the search engines, than from a super popular keyword that you only make it to page 50 of search engines.
    Write an accessible site (HIGH PRIORITY)

    Accessible HTML is accessible to both search engine spiders and screen readers. The more accessible you make your pages, the easier it will be for search engines to read and rank your pages.
    Use the keyword phrase in your title tag (HIGH PRIORITY)

    The title tag is one of the most important tags on your Web page. And placing your keyword phrase in the title tag, preferably at the beginning, is very important to get that phrase into the search engines. Plus, that puts your keyword phrase as the link in the search engine index.
    Get a domain with your keyword phrase (HIGH PRIORITY)

    Putting your keyword phrase in your domain name is a great way to optimize for that phrase.
    Use the keyword phrase in your URL (HIGH PRIORITY)

    Even if you can't get your keywords into your domain name, you can put them into your URLs. Search engines read the URLs and assign value to the text they find there.
    Use your keyword phrase a lot, but not too much (HIGH PRIORITY)

    The ratio of your keywords to the rest of the text on your page is called the keyword density. It's important to repeat your keywords in your document, but not too much. Keyword density should be between 3 and 7% for your primary keyword phrase and 1-2% for any secondary keywords or keyword phrases.
