If you have a website with Great Content, then you don't really need to focus on SEO. Just let the SE's do their job, IMO.

Most of them (if not all) do suck. None I ever submitted to (way back when I was first starting out) have ever helped me out in a serious way.

Then why'd you ask for them?

Easier than what?
I can understand that SE traffic may bring returning visitors (I discovered Steve's Blog through Google, for example. But I don't know how much SEO he did for it.)
Overall, my point here is that it's better to "create value" for your audience and network with others rather than focusing on tactics that try to game the search engines (which won't survive in the long-term).
