What are some good SEO books or websites?

What are some good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) books or websites?
I'm trying to explore different aspects about websites. My first website that uses mostly PHP code and a database that I made is http://www.wallpapersearch.net and I would now like to explore SEO and see what I am missing there. I am just trying to build up some skill for a future career perhaps. I am still in high school :).

For one, you might want to fix your meta tags:

Code: Select all

<meta name="description" content="Free anime, car, celebrity, military, landscape, cartoon, sports, and space images. Search wallpaper screensavers backgrounds desktop wallpaper themes digital wallpaper myspace backgrounds wallpaper for your computer. Themes include anime wallpaper 3d art digital abstract cars sports people.>
<meta name="keywords" content="wallpaper, search, clipart, screensavers, desktop, background, 3d wallpaper, desktop wallpaper, themes, backgrounds, myspace background, cell phone wallpaper, wallpaper">
 
Notice how the description tag doesn't have the ending double-quote?

Secound I suggest you use XHTML & CSS instead of tables utilizing the H1-H4 tags for your important areas of information. Ex: H1 should be your site title, h2 should be your content title, and h3 perhaps could be your sub-titles leaving h4 to be other areas of interest like menu bars.

I fixed the first problem. Thanks! As for the second are you talking about this?

<link href="master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {color: #FFFFFF}
.style3 {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 12px;
}
.style9 {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.style11 {font-size: 21px; }
.style13 {color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; }
a:hover {
color: #0000BB;
}
.style21 {color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt; }
.style16 {color: #EEEEEE}
-->
</style>

Thanks
