use a blog to create the site, lots of tools and plenty of tips when using wordpress as your blog. Just modify the theme to make it less blog looking.

Fuck SEO. Put up good content and they will come. There's a reason that EE comes up fifth on a search for "Old Man Emu" and it ain't SEO.

SEO helps a new site, but time is the best way to the top. It is just hard for new sites to break through which is why SEO is important.

A SEO effort that will produce results requires from $500 to $3000 on the front end (depending on site changes) and $3-500 a month there after for content creation, edits and link development.

As posted earlier, content is king. But SEO is the lube.

I built www.germanautosalvage.com about 7 years ago. If you google "BMW wrecking yard" I come in about the 4th page. Not bad for no money spent for placement whatsoever. It takes time to do it for free. Google key words would cost me at least 2K a month if I wanted the same results.

Most my hits come via google and to my surprise alot of folks actually google german auto salvage. Even I wouldn't do that if I was searching for a BMW parts.

what is your site and what does your meta look like now?

have you completed an xml sitemap and submitted to google webmaster, as well as allowed robots? What about google analytics to see what is happening on the back end?

All free and very good tools, can be a little learning curve if you have not done this before.
