My husband and I bought some books and learned how to "build a web site" and did so ourselves for our family business. I was totally computer illiterate to begin with and didn't find Webmaster World until after google placed us in www2/3.
We submitted our site to every search engine we could find. We guessed on what to put for keywords and title, and don't even have a description to this day.
Here is how we ranked with google:

*For our title, (when other people have the same title) we ranked #1 on page #1
*For keywords in our title, we ranked page #4 (this is for "hats" which I am assumming is a common SE keyword used)
*For the keyword that tells what our product is (this phrase is not in our title) we ranked page #2

So, from what I am reading in some of the other posts, I can't really complain. Especially for guessing...
