    Sure, if you follow the basic things that are listed out on the Google site, like putting in meta descriptions and simple stuff like that, it'll help.

    But, you know, the Search Engines want honest results, that can't be gamed. And a lot of SEO is sold as "secret techniques" that will game the system. So, the Search Engine people are always fiddling with their algorithms, and, consequently, success in SEO is always a moving, shifting thing.

    And you know what? Even in this day and age, most of the Search Engines really, really suck for finding useful information. For instance, go to Google, and search on a few common, useful terms. The first 8 or 10 results, except for the mandatory Wikipedia link at the top, are going to seem awfully arbitrary.
