Excellent post. I have begun to research SEO more in earnest and you have some great tips here. I would also add TIME. Today, I have adopted a position that I will go at this steady and build, build, build! It is too easy to become discouraged when you expect overnight results...and floods of sales! Of course, when you are doing it yourself, there is even more of a learning curve. Research is not optional. As you mentioned, one needs to search the net and learn, learn, learn. Again, great post!

SEO is a big part of marketing and promotion IMO. Our main goal is to generate as much targeted traffic as we possibly can. SEO - particularly in ranking high on the SERPs will help us with that

Right now I am using free classifieds as a way to test copy and improve clicks to my site. I can see results (or lack of) and make changes very easily. I really like Classifiedsforfree. Very easy to put in ads (for multiple locations) and can renew easily. I had been using it for other sites, and then it dawned on me that I could use it to drive traffic to my blog (DUH!). So far, I'm getting views, but not clicks to my site. So, I'm working on fine tuning my ad until I start seeing visitors. Best of all, it is free!

With regards to finances, it could really be free. Generally, it isn't free as we invest a lot of time into it. But it is really worth the investment
