You could have a PHD (Piled Higher & Deeper) and you'd still be in the dark with SEO. IMHO - The best SEO is NO SEO. Just write original content.

James, you need to get yourself on some courses with recognised bodies. I'd recommended econsultancy (UK based) or online with Market Motive.
Because of the nature of SEO (i.e no one knows for 100% what it takes to rank) there is so much information out there which is incorrect / misleading etc, and you don't have the experience to know what is right / might be right / wrong / worth testing etc. You need to learn the ABC's from some acknowledged experts.
Once you have the fundamentals of SEO, forums like this will be much more beneficial. But learning something like this from the ground is difficult without expert advice.

There are also some great workshops associated with the major SEO conference offerings - PubCon, SES, SMX and so on.

| Wow, just what have I gotten myself into? |

Something were SEO still exists but is not something for beginners. You either have a team and lots of money behind you - or you have your own giant network of sites that are aged well.
What you should get in to is SEM. More than half of the Google results page above the fold is now Adverts. That's your market. As you can only see the top 3 organic results, you're probably better off paying per click in the 4-8 ad places than trying to rank in the top 3 for some terms.
