To sum it up in once line; "Get webpages to link to your page using the keywords you decide". This is the core of SEO. Easy innit?
creative_007, I think that the best for you will be go through SEO forums. As far as I noticed they do have sections for newbies.
Just write good descriptive titles on your webpages and make sure you have plenty of content in your site pages. You dont need SEO.
putting your website url in your signature will also help a bit... as a starting point - good titles, quality content and relevant inbound links will improve your rankings.
try to look for a GOOD titles and very useful content and search the net for some useful tips and look for a good and well experienced SEO, they will be a very big help. and also try to link your website to the popular site.
