A bit off the topic, but still connected:
How many people here do really have most traffic from SE's?

Nothing on the page indicated that links from other sites are likely to bring buyers, more the SE will.

It's really just common sense. When looking to buy something of the www you are very likely to search. So the intitial contact is made via a SE in a vast majority of cases.

Speaking of common sense; when you say "search engine", what do you think first?
And simplifying things here, what is the most important factor Google takes into consideration?
So, the same quality links that bring (high) rankings are directly responsible for the most traffic in huge majority of cases.
Again, I am talking about regular linking. In most cases
PR is directly proportional with traffic, higher
PR = more traffic, more links from such pages = ...?
If you are really able to get more traffic from SE than from the links - it smells strongly to spamming SE.

I don't want to spread heresy here, but the formula should be: Content+Content+Content+
SEO=Traffic=...
