Spammers and shills have made a mess of this question. That is, you find that while your question has answers on the web, too many are just spam.
If you don't have good fresh content that folk are interested in, your following declines. Only the folk that sell SEO, SMO and such will talk up SEO as the solution. They are after your money.
PS. Because of the spam, this discussion shall be link free.
I was wandering if there are any web apps to help my website in any way. Maybe for SEO or ways to gain attention of my website. Or even web apps that can just add cool things to my website.
Thanks! - Tyler
