Internet treat links from another site that leads to yours is a vote for the popularity and importance of your website. Every links you receive can improve your search engine ranking.
A high traffic, well know website that links to your website a quality inbound links for your website is more vital than the low traffic, less know website links. A website need more valuable link is from sites that are relevant to your industry (niche) with authority. A quality website directory with relevant categories is an example. Quality link is have more valuable that hundreds of less quality.

SEO DIY in Three Easy Steps: Step 2 - Web Content |
|
Your website is made up of the wording. Website contents include key
phrases for search engines. As we always told to your client, "Content
Is King". Search engines love unique contents and your key phrase
should be inside somewhere within your content and made up the whole
paragraph nicely. Search engine can understand the relevance your
website and indexed correctly.
Your key phrases can place in headings. I'll suggest you use
<h1> tag as your heading. Also use bold or italics on the key
phrases within the content. It gives you higher weighting of the key
phrases and more eye friendly to your visitors.
Content is king, content is good. More information you provided on
your website always good for your website. E.g. give extra description
of the products and services you offer. Not just price or a description
with one sentence. Why not having frequently asked questions page or
articles pages that pertain your business?!
Bear in mind your design, search engine cannot read images as good
as text. Website that made up with stunning flash or elegant pictures
can really eye-catching but not 'eye-catching' for search engines.
Remember to optimise your images as well by adding (alt) attribute
within the image tags.
From now on you should be able to create a good, optimised contents with your key phrases list.
