Update: I’m a paid member of webmasterworld and I just realized you have to pay to access the content I’ve linked to. It used to be free. 
The best introduction to SEO I’ve ever read was written by Brett Tabke on his excellent webmasterworld.com in 2002. It’s a guide to plain old white hat SEO and if you can meet the challenge of generating enough content, it will easily get you 15K pageviews per day.
The only modification I’d make is the time period. Google updates their index much more frequently and they also recognize popular websites in their index much quicker now. So if you follow the guide, manage to generate a lot of content and get enough high quality back-links, you’ll get traffic a lot sooner than 12 months.
