I wrote an article about this for Digital Web a few months back about this:

Designing for Search Engines and Stars
http://www.digital-web.com/tutorials/tutorial_2001-4.shtml

That ought to answer a bunch of those questions for you, and the article 
also has some excellent resources.

Check both of these site for the latest on this:

Search Engine Watch (Danny Sullivan)
http://www.searchenginewatch.com/

RankWrite (Jill Whalen, Heather Martin)
http://www.rankwrite.com/

They both offer newsletters packed with good info, and archives at their 
sites, too.

If you make it through all that <chuckle> I also have some great resources 
at WebsiteTips.com's Search Engine Info section:

HTH!

Warmly,
Shirley
