For example, what should a low traffic site be testing since it doesn't have much data to draw from? And it seems like the word "optimization" is used a lot without providing a clear understanding of what's being optimized or what "optimization" consists of. Again, not trying to be critical, I may just be too uninformed on the subject to follow along. :) Maybe it’s just that I don’t have a clear understanding of the subject matter but it seems like this article is a little short on actual concrete advice.

I've always believed that optimization, traffic and conversions are mutually inclusive. In order to increase your traffic - you need to optimize your site. In order to optimize your site - you need to find out what your converting traffic is, in order to find your converting traffic you need traffic in the first place. It's about constant vigilance and tweaking the optimization to rank for the converting keywords as the campaign progresses. Optimization should be an integral and ongoing part of any online marketing campaign. A really good post.
