Ultimate Blog Marketing

Can anyone give me more information on writing articles in order to boost your websites search engine ranking? Where would I post the article? Is this a effective approach? I cannot afford a company who offers “article writing”, I would need to do it on my own if possible! Any help will be very much appreciated! Thanks!

I’ve been searching all day, and I’ve been reading that your blog can be successful or fall falt on it’s face based on what you know of search engine optimization; SEO. I know what it is (sort of) but I don’t know how to do it, I don’t even know if there IS a “how.” So I’d be grateful if someone told me what SEO is, and how to use it. Thanks.
What do you mean tags? You mean like the links on my site (well, in my case a blog) that describe my posts and stuff?

I want to start a website that will be a tool (like facebook, wikipedia, etc) and my brother tells me that it will cost 10,000 a month to advertise, market, and search engine optimize a month. From everything I have read this seems way off base…can you provide some insight into this for me?

Thanks!

Poking around on EBAY, I found some software that says it can SEO any website using search optimization “spiders”
Do these programs work?
