I've designed a site for a client with a relatively narrow niche, but full and detailed content. It only had one, maybe two links to it--and those from sites such as library or magazine websites--but within a week of active promotion (and a re-index request to Google's bots) it skyrocketed to the first position in Google for several relevant terms, and first or second in most other major search engines for the same terms.

Content is indeed king--become the best provider of content in your field, and you WILL get the rankings.
