In regards to "pay me $20 and I'll tell you how to become a millionaire" - I made my first REAL money after buying an ebook like that in the early days. And I still buy these types of ebooks on a regular basis - and exchange copies with other webmasters. Any method can work if you apply it properly. Some I use, some not. Some work, some don't.
Pretty much spot on.

I started out by learning from others, then after I got the "jist" of it.. I figured out how to find new techniques on my own.

A lot of it is pretty elementary in my humble opinion, but it takes a lot of work as well.

Then there's some things that people do which are "secret"(or so they/we like to think) and it gives us an edge.. again, or so we like to think. If you're good at it, it works. If you're not, it doesn't. Pretty simple.

Link building, decent keyword(s) placement on your pages, good linkbacks, no linkback from spam sites.. that's the elementary stuff.

But you can get top 10 for longtail keywords with only 1 or 2 link-ins.. just depends how you do things.
