        CONTENT IS KING

        Without content there is nothing to rank. Who wants to link to a noninformative site?  The algorithm looks for content as do human visitors therefore, Content IS the holy grail.

            To be honest, the Holy Grail of SEO is the customer's trust. However you earn that is what leads to the publicity, authority, and financial wins every business seeks.

              Trust is won by website quality, content quality, credentials of the author, offsite recommendations and more.   And, it is really important to build the site and design a marketing plan that conveys the proper trust signals.

                  I am thinking along the lines of the Google Quality Rater instructions.  I think that Miriam is thinking of that too.

                  These things are the new SEO.
