thanks in advance | Your question shows how far away you are from competing via doing your own SEO. Those SEO software packages in the hands of inexperienced amatuers are more likely to harm your website than help you.
If you serious about SEO you need to learn the basics first.
Basically websites are ranked by an algorythem that uses a combination of trust and relevance to a search term.
The most important factor in rankings are the quality and quantity of backlinks (other sites linking to your site) your site has.
Links from highly trusted relevant sites are the ones that help the most. The text that the link contains (anchor text) is also very important in making you relevant to those keywords.
Most SEO therefore is different ways to attract relivant links to your site. The best method is having best on the web content related to your theme/area or creating some type of resource on your site others find useful and thus link to you.
best of luck...
