    I have an ecommerce site and do all functions - product entry, customer service, etc. I also do all of the seo for now. I currently have 3 blogs, write a couple of ezine articles and, post in directories and comment in forums.
    My question is, with a lot of hats to wear, what are the best SEO functions I should do and how often.

    I would start doing the stuff you only need to do once (such as using seo friendly urls).
    After this I would start keyword stuffing and building links...

    I was in the same boat for about five years. I think best bang for my buck in terms of SEO was to make sure my on-page stuff was really dialed in for my product pages to pick up the long-tail stuff - that's where conversions were the best because when people are comparing specific product models, they're about to buy. I made sure I had 3 or 4 related products on each page to distriubute PR too.

    Next best thing was creating optimized brand pages and doing link campaigns for those pages. I don't know if you carry brand-centric products, but I got a lot of traffic from creating landing pages optimized for my brand names.

    I used to set aside a couple of hours every afternoon to do SEO work and I constantly grabbed links where I could. Sounds like you're doing things right, so just keep at it and it'll pay off.

    As for me, make sure what keywords you would like to target ;) you will start there and everything will follow
