SEO is part of SEM (Search Engine Marketing) which is part of Marketing. Until you know you business aims you can't really begin an SEO campaign.

However, if one accepts that the aim of marketing is to attract new customers then the aim of SEM should be improve the visbility of the business in order to attract those customers. It follows therefore that the most important thing in SEM is to provide an interesting and informative website that people will want to visit, all SEO therefore does is provide greater visibility for the website. There is no 'most important thing' it is a collection of activities that combine to acheive the aim of getting more customers.

There are many good techniques and 'best practices' which you'll find scattered around on any forums or websites on the net. However, as for the real best practices - we don't tend to shout about those for obvious reasons.

As Fisicx says first you know very well about your target area and know the demand of your product and competition after this choose your keywords and start other things

The most important thing of SEO is to be #1 at Google/Yahoo etc. for keywords that your customers/prospects look for.
The most important thing of internet marketing is to bring traffic to your
web site.

Wrong - the aim of SEM is to acheive SE exposure. SEO is one of the methods to achieve this.

It is quite possible to do better than the #1 result by providing better titles/descriptions or having better branding.

A too broad and general question, because SEO might mean different things to different people, for example, many leading companies are very popular through advertising and have completely forgotten their search engine rankings while others might stick to the engine rankings only.

The most important factor to rank in the organic results of SEs is the authority that your domain achieves within your community. So in that sense Google is right when they say "content is king" because unique and relevant content is the best way to generate relevant links to your site, which will build up that authority.
