What goes on a person's altar really can vary. Traditionally you would have something that represents each of the 4 elements (air, fire, water, earth), a representation of the God and the Goddess, and then there might be other items such as candles or personal items.
On mine I have incense in the East for air, as well as a set of chimes. In the South for fire are some candles and my athame - as well as a glass paperweight thingy that says "imagine" - since fire is about creativity (among other things). In the West I have a hand painted bowl to hold the water as well as a chalice (of sorts) for libations. In the North for Earth I have my pentacle as well as some crystals. Some people use specific candles to represent the God/dess, some will use statues. I use a pair of crystals - it's not ideally what I'd like to be using, but for the longest time my altar had to be somewhat non-altar looking, so that's just what I had to use.
For some good info, you may want to check out this thread in the Academy... Wicca 101. Lesson 10 specifically covers Altars, but over all it is a good place to learn about the basics.
