I’m seeking advice from knowledgeable SEO members if this would be a good start or not, or if there is a lot more to it than this.

Find Niche

Find keywords (preferably two or three combination phrase, less competitive) related to niche in Google ad words with 3000 or more searches per month, $1 or more average CPC

Search keywords in Google and once the results come back check the first ten websites on the first page of Google for their rank, to see if they rank 0 or 1.
(bottom line if they rank 0 or 1 it’s easier to overtake them since they’re not SEO ready but they show up in the first page because the keyword is not very competitive)

Once you find your keyword (s) combination, create a domain or blog and include those (keywords) in the URL.

Post content and include keywords in the first sentence, about 10 to 15% inside content and last sentence.

The point is to make the site content relevant for SEO purposes, quality relevant content would be second priority.

Backlinking (I’m not sure about this, how many quality backlinks would a site need to start getting ranked?
(Again from what I read the technique above would make it quicker since there is less competition from rank 0 and 1)

Thanks

It's easy to rank for any non-competitive keyword, especially if you happen to have your keywords in the domain and everything else is in place correctly. The difficulty comes when you try to expand the site into further categories or products....alternatively you could open a site for each!

A keyword may have a high bid in AdWords and be easy to rank organically, or vice versa. Also the AdWords tool can over-estimate demand considerably. It doesn't hurt Google for people to think that there are thousands of searches each month for terms they want people to bid on. What I'd look for is a keyword group where there are lots and lots of related terms that show decent interest.

PageRank is something to consider when you look at a website, but don't trust it too much. A site with low PR can outrank a site with high PR.

Definitely - but try to make the name also personal or memorable in some way. You want your name to stand out.

Use keywords for page in title tag, as part of description tag, in header 1 tag. Apart from that use them where it makes sense to do so. Don't count how often you use the keywords, pay attention to writing something that people will find interesting to read. You do want people to read your site, right?

If the purpose of your site is to get people on it then realise it's awful and click an ad to get away, then do it this way. You'll make it easier to get links and rank if you focus on the content first and the SEO second.

Depends on how many quality backlinks your competitors have. You will not get quality backlinks unless your content is quality. That means you have to know your subject well and be interested in it, and you have to have something original to say.

hello.

You can collar and attach a lead to search engine spiders and make sure that they don't stray away from your web pages too soon, particularly your home page that is liable to receive the highest search engine listings.

Spiders work from top left to bottom right, and if you have tables on your site, they start with the top left table, and scan its contents first, then go the next table and so on. If your website is designed using tables rather than CSS, and you have a left hand navigation table and then a table containing the bulk of your content, the spider will read your top navigation link first, and leave your home page. It will not return until it hits the home page link.

It will therefore miss most of your content. The answer is either to place your navigation table to the left of your content, so it is visited after your content, or to use an empty table top left, then a content table, then a left aligned navigation table. That way the spider will visit the empty table, then your content and then your navigation table, which is still showing to the left of your content, but comes after it in your HTML.

This is not true.

If it were, then every time a spider found a link in a page it would leave the page and stop crawling it.

No one would ever design a search engine that worked this way, because it would mean that no page on the internet would get crawled beyond the last outgoing link.
