I'm kind of struggling with SEO and ways to generate traffic, so I want to make an effort to really understand SEO and which techniques provide the best bang for the buck. I have googled around and read enough "top x SEO lists" that rehash the same things over and over, and I'm kind of put off by ebooks.
Could anyone recommend a good book that actually provides good SEO strategies and how to go about implementing them? If not, how did you guys learn SEO - if anything, just to the point where you guys could see your work pay off?
I don't know if any of these are any good or just trying to sell you stuff.
The Bruce Clay link is really good. Might be a little outdated. free SEO training - Google Search
Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thanks for the advice, I did take the "do first" attitude for my first two sites and it didn't turn out so great. I do admit that I have learned a ton of valuable information that probably wouldn't have stuck any other way.
Since posting I did find an SEO book and have gone through it, and most of it was basic and almost all common sense, but it did help a bit
If you are new to seo, the best on the market is "seo made easy by brad callen"
It gives you an understanding, it is detailed, and simple language you can follow as a beginner, just do not use link exchange. Do a search for it as I have it in quotes and you will find it, it is free. Then look for link building threads here on 5 star and learn the right way to build traffic and links.
Sorry for being so blunt, but LeadinBiz, motivation without any direction will get you nothing but frustration. you have to understand the basic concepts before you can be successful in SEO.
Take your time, learn the basics then expand from there.

You can find everything you need to know about SEO online. There's no need to go out and purchase a book. Actually, some of the best places to learn are on forums. There are plenty of helpful ones that can be found through google. Also, there's no replacement for practice and persistence. Learn a little, do a little, learn a little, do a little.
Thanks for the SEO advice. Being kind of new, it makes sense to me to figure out the basics. If you do jump in and learn by doing, isn't it a trial and error sort of thing and a waste of getting a start down the right path? Couldn't we struggle along and not really know any better?
