SEO 101

I thought I would submit this link, given all the advanced SEO discussed as of late on HN. I'm not a marketer and it took some reading to get the gist of what SEO is about.<p>Other great HN discussions on SEO:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1073357" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1073357</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1073723" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1073723</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1074659" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1074659</a>

What do you do when you have a web app, rather than content, and there's not that much text to drop your keywords around in. I guess have a blog that talks about your subject matter?

I have a slightly off-topic question: What is a simple (and legal) way to monetize a high pagerank website? The article mentions that it is very difficult to reach to PR 6, yet I found that my personal page has PR 6, without having consciously tried to optimize it. I am honestly wondering if there is any way to benefit from that or I should just be happy that my page comes up on google before those with the same name like me.
