While not strictly Drupal related, don't forget to use structure tags, such as headlines. While CSS can be used to style structure tags, you will be less effective in SEO if you rely completely on CSS.

Typically when I launch a Drupal site using all of the above listed techniques it immediately has a PageRank of at least 3 - maybe you all wouldn't mind taking a look at this site and giving me a few pointers? http://macombbankruptcy.com

PageRank is an algorithm employed by google to determine the importance of a page, based on incoming links. Wikipedia has a good explanation of the algorithm. That being the case, nodewords, proper URLs, etc. don't have a direct impact on PageRank.

Of note, I checked http://macombbankruptcy.com in some PageRank calculators, and received a score of 0, and not 3. After checking back links in SEOMoz Site Explorer tool (you can use the tool for free, though I checked using a Pro account), I noticed back links from pages with a PageRank of 0 that look like they are of what Google considers "low quality." The latest updates to Google's search results algorithm have been punishing websites with links from low quality websites.
