SEO is important as it gives direction to what you're doing….. but it's important to stike a balance as well..

Without keywords and other SEO tactics, it's like looking for light in a very dark tunnel…

What you say makes sense. The difficulty is when you don't get the readers when it seems that you are doing the right things (meaning the kinds of things you suggest). So while I like what you are saying, I think that you may do it all right and still not find your niche.

And I think a blog with a more personal tone and approach, something that evokes a friendly accommodating atmosphere to readers and visitors is one that will capture and glue people.

There is I think a need for blogs to have more personal tone and conversation unlike some blogs that are quite unreachable because of so many technical stuffs.

Human + SEO may be a good combination. In fact, many great copywriters say that SEO should be done but keyword density has to be less than 5%(i.e. less than 5% of content should be keywords!)

Automating? I hate automated blogs. Many people just focus on money and start such blogs. These are the blogs that do not provide any value. However, luckily, they are easy to spot and we can avoid them!

You just hit the nail on the head. If a blogger does not deliver value in his content, there's no use of SEO. In fact, value an quality outweight SEO. In a recent interview, Leo Babuta( http://zenhabits.net ) said that he does not care much about SEO and keeps only quality in mind when writing.

Well, simple designs are kind if "fashion" these days. Everyone seems to like them and they emphasize on the most important thing, content. Good luck for your new design.

The effort you put into writing posts is noticeable in them. Almost every line has good humor packed into it.

i agree with your idea about being human on writing a blog post, but how about being human plus being SEO friendly at the same time? any suggestion?

moreover it's not easy to get inspiration to make real good content, that's why people often copying other's people contents, or just overload their contents with keywords.

This is a good concept. I like the personal interaction you can get blogging. So when I see that people are automating all their networks I'm less likely to bother commenting or subscribing.

I think readers in general are more receptive when they know the person who is running the blog.
