SEO = Search Engine Optimization. It's the process of getting your website to show up highly in search engine results pages when someone searches for a phrase relevant to your website.

Hey James
How have you set yourself apart from your competitors? Are your keywords geared towards on page & off page backlinks? What time frame have you given yourself to turn your business into a cash machine? I've think this insurance gig has some potential eh?

The best tools that I have found for seo is www.webceo.com and www.goodkeywords.com
I also use www.wordpressdirect.com for blogging templates and addon for seo. All three programs have a free version which is what I use.

Anytime you have some one tell you that they are going to submitt /place your listing on search engines is a scam.
That technique was used years ago... today search engines find you. Place a link on any website that is already indexed by search engines and your website will be automatically "submitted".
Another FACT that it is a scam is that NO ONE can possibly guarantee positions on the first page... It is impossible since no one knows what it exactly takes to get a position on the first page. I have dozen of websites that rank on the first page for very competitive keywords and I have no idea exactly what it took to get on the first page. There general principles but there is no way that some one can guarantee it.
Here is what Google says
No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or by submitting a Sitemap and you can do this yourself at no cost whatsoever.
You should never have to link to an SEO.
Avoid SEOs that talk about the power of "free-for-all" links, link popularity schemes, or submitting your site to thousands of search engines. These are typically useless exercises that don't affect your ranking in the results of the major search engines -- at least, not in a way you would likely consider to be positive.

Well I did and took my website down for a good hour, while I sweated myself clean of 15 pounds. I ended up calling into godaddy and they did it for me. I believe this for people who are going to have their whole website be a blog instead of doing it the more popular way of website domain and blog subdomain. So be sure none of you do this unless you want to have wordpress host your site.

Google does love Wordpress.
I was skimming over this thread and did not notice anyone mentioning utilizing keyword research to find what people are actually searching for and providing sources on how to do it.
This can come in handy for optimizing your blog posts, pages within your website, etc.
Here's a good free one:

All the SEO in the world won't help if you're optimizing for keywords that aren't searched by anyone.
