The Google guide isn't bad, but they don't stress the importance of backlinks or pagerank. Onsite optimization (which the Google guide mostly talks about) is only about one-quarter the importance of off-site optimization. I've seen websites with a pagerank of 1 show up on the first page of google for very competitive keywords. All the other pageranks on the first page were 4-6. The site with the page rank of 1, had over 1,000 other websites linking back to it.
