First off search engines are businesses and just like any business they have a product, and with all businesses with a good product comes competition from other businesses. So as a business, search engines want to be the best at what they do.
To be the best at what they do they need to deliver the information/results web surfers searched for. For a search engine to do that it needs quality content in its index/data centres.

That's where we the mere mortals come in.

Forget about the next big SEO thing and unethical SEO methods and get down to the real issue; content. Quality content is where it's at, all our focus, all our hard work should be placed upon writing and delivering quality content.
Do it for your readership, do it for the search engines', they'll love you for it, do it for naturally building links. Do it for yourself!

Quality content is king, always has been and always will be.

    I totally agree. Good content is the only way to get visitors to come to your site and stay/revisit is good content that they are interested in.

    The problem is, it takes months and months of daily updates (6-12 months) to build a site that the search engines will rank decently, and most people give up long before then.
