[...] Make sure you always keep the purpose and goal of your website and blog in mind when you analyze your stats. Lots of traffic won’t do you any good if your visitors aren’t buying whatever it is that you’re selling. In other words, don’t be misled by hoards of traffic. [...]

I am pretty green at all the SEO topics. I read and read but it seems there are skills needed far beyond just reading. The stats are without a doubt missleading. But I think the so called experts thrive on these stats. This post is so true but a add to this is that side. These so called experts use these stats to duke newbies in the online SEO wars by showing results for traffic. And trust me, when you are new traffic looks so impressive. Then you calm down and realize it is worthless traffic so many times!

Providing the right content that will result in the user taking the appropriate action (i.e., signing up, calling, etc.) is the greatest challenge.

Yes, I have gotten caught up in the traffic generation game in the past and lost sight of the conversion element. Since targeting my link building toward very targeted keywords, my organic searches, and conversions, have increased dramatically.

The challenge with Google SEREP is that the rules can change quite rapidly. This means that no one approach guarantees success. A little bit of everything is better than a lot of one thing. You will find a balance and good content and regular posting will get you 90% there

A lot of marketing is based on keywords with the highest search volume, but it’s important to target relevant ones that will bring the right kind of traffic you want to convert.

Content is king. We all should take care for Content. Because user want to read somethings useful and related to their searches. Then we should take care about on page optimization then off page optimization.

I agree with you. I have a number of analytical tools, and each one gives me a different traffic number.

Indeed. Generating huge amount of traffic is the top priority of most of us. But giving the contents and update to your site some of your time won’t hurt much and would give you lots of wonderful things the next day.

@Poker, it’s true traffic w/o conversation is useless, but as you said real linking and real pr comes from true content and comments. so you have to be careful about how you open up the flood gates.

I reckon go for quantity for first. The ‘spray-and-pray’ approach. Some of it will stick and then begin you fine tuning to bring down your bounce rate and get more targetted traffic which will convert better into sales

Actually traffic is useless without conversions. The real goal is high quality content, good linking and good conversion ratios.
