Content is king. Links from other sites to your page(s) are a search 
engine's main way of measuring the relevance of your page. Look at how 
major foss cms systems do things, and perhaps include an xml sitemap 
(lots of cmses like wordpress, drupal) will generate a sitemap for you 
to submit to google, yahoo etc.

Don't drink the seo kool-aid until you have a tangible problem that 
having just plain old good content can't solve.
