You really would be better posting related questions in the same thread.

No such thing as ideal content. Except its (currently) text for search engines, not graphics or flash.

First, plan your structure. What topics are going on what page, andhow will you index and/or interlink

Bare in mind
1) Target audience
2) PAGE focus
3) Topic Focus
4) What you are trying to acheive (inform, educate, sell, click AdSense/advertising)

i) Create "How to" lists - they get much attention since they are short and 'to-the-point'
ii) Create "Top 10"; "101" lists on industry specific topics. Such content spreads fast through social media and blogs creating lots of links for your parent website.
iii) Do an industry research and post the data on your website. A good way of attracting links.
iv) Create funny/ humorous content related to your industry.
v) Create a controversial post on your blog and watch links flying. [be careful while doing this]
vi) Post interviews of industry leaders on your blog.
vii) Free-tools/ Giveaways - Give away something for free to your visitors. Something that they can use on their own web property to enhance its value. Such as a free tool or a cool widget [of course containing hardwired links to your website]
viii) Bust the top 10 myths of your industry with supportive evidences and promote it through Digg, Reddit etc.
9. Submit your website for reviews.
10. Start an affiliate program. A mutually beneficial way of getting links and sales.
