Hi! Caper is right ! I have started my SEO journey...when I wanted to promote my first www site. I just found list of directories and starting adding my site to them. and, at the same time, I started reading e-books and forums about SEO. My knowledge was growing....and will grow, the whole life There are no one book you can read and that's all. SEO is changing and you have to follow...
You can learn it from many ways online. Try to read some basics from Google Webmaster Central, Try to find e-books and read them IMO SEO Wiley's SEO Bible is one of my favorite e-book. Try to get some SEO Articles and read them. Get up to date from SEO forums. and finally applies tactics which you have learned from every where because practical knowledge is essential rather then theory.
There are so many videos and tutorial articles out there. Just Google it. Now some basic information on SEO. Good Search Engine Optimization has two parts. 1. On page SEO 2. Off page SEO On page SEO Main thing here are keywords. Content should be focused on some good keywords which have some search volume. You can use the following tools for finding good keywords for free. https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html http://www.goodkeywords.com/good-keywords/ http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ After finding good keywords(make a list), create quality content focused on two or three keywords. Remember these points 1.It is good to have a keyword density of 3-6% of the word count. Please don't stuff keywords. 2. Title should have the main keyword and may be one more.Again don't stuff keywords there. You can also add the blog name there, if space permits. 3. You can make some of the keywords in the main content bold. 4. Also make some keywords in the content as links. 5. Use meta description which uses these keywords. Also write it as a small intro to your page. Off page SEO This involves getting authority links to give your site/blog credibility. So you need to build links in a natural way so that it will add to your rankings. If possible, get links which are do follow. Making it all do follow is also not good . It will not look natural to search engines. So target on 60-70% do follow backlinks and the rest no follow.
SEO is Search Engine Optimization while SMO is Social Media Optimization. Both are methods of website optimizing. That is bringing in targeted traffic which will convert to sales or clicks if it is adsense. One focus on search engines to bring in traffic while other on social media.
