Goober,

I put my site up with enough knowledge to make it solid "content wise" and enough to make it SE friendly. I keep adding content and pages, and I keep getting rewarded with visitors. I'm not afraid to change it. I learn.

I think I left my initial response a little too open ended when I said that you should focus on having good content. I think content should be the #1 priority, but that doesn't mean that you should have tons of junk HTML code, etc.

I think the ideal page has a clean (but light) layout, a limited number of images (with no Flash/JavaScript), easy to read text, and overall good content. I think W3 conformant HTML helps too :D
