It is totally common knowledge in IM that tons of online marketers have been able to make a lot of money on their own efforts at SEO. The reason why SEO is seen as a difficult way to get traffic is because of the background work that goes into it. If you don't seek to put in this effort, then it's obvious that your rankings will suffer. But keep in mind that you can do this in a way that protects you from the search engine algorithm changes, and you have a stable business. You will need to take the initiative and you have; so let's move forward with a discussion about intro level SEO.

If you don't have the inclination to learn to do SERPs Optimization we'll take care of it for you.
Search engines have an impossible time dealing with Flash based sites, or really having it anywhere on the site. Yes, it's a fact that Flash adds the 'coolness' factor to your site, but it also makes your SEO for a toss. The problem is the spiders will get stopped dead in their tracks due to the Flash code, so just avoid it altogether. If you really do want to use Flash, then have an alternative HTML page as well.

The only thing you cannot ignore is backlinking, but you can give yourself more by using methods such as internal linking with your content. If you want to see how it is done, then head over to Wikipedia and look at what they do. Never put the cart before the horse, and with this we mean that you need to know what you are doing before you jump in with both feet. A good guideline with this is to think about what would really annoy your readers, and then do not do it.
You can backlink in so many different ways, but for social media you can include that, too. Those sites are along the lines of heavy weight PR and authority, so of course you want to take advantage of them. It is a great idea to pay others for backlinks from social media as it is tedious and mind-numbing. Besides this, you'll also generate direct traffic through these social sites, but just make sure you're adding quality content, and not spamming.
You can get so much out of your business and the net with SEO, and we heartily recommend you do it. This has affected the field of SEO too, which keeps on changing with time; however, what ever the changes may be, the basics will remain the same. Once all this becomes more clear in your mind, then you can begin the task of making your site. What you end up doing after all is said and done just depends on your level of motivation and desire to build a business.
