When building web applications for the client, I've mentioned multiple times that it is extremely important to get all the facets of the application to completely achieve it's goals to be successful. One leg of the tripod is weak then the entire application will eventually fall. Legs could include programming, graphic design, content, marketing and SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
The concept of 'Build it and they will come' is unacceptable, especially if there are dollars and expectations related to the launch. If you've built the perfect web site, it doesn't matter if no one visits. As a programmer, you are expected to optimize the site to provide the proper opportunities for search engines to index and promote the listing. This obviously includes meta tags, title tags and having a base that is easy for robots. If you're not familiar with some of these concepts, you might want to look at the following article "Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : Tune up your META".
Getting the foundation is the start, but good SEO takes it much further. Search engines need backlinks from relevant sites to help establish search engine trust, etc. Developing backlinks can be incredibly time consuming. Also with SEO there is marketing, and they are often hand in hand. Buying links or ads to help drive traffic are pieces to the puzzle.
