The fact that a site with plenty of content attracts people (traffic), so "CONTENT > traffic" is not a valid argument to me, just because it doesn't have to be that way. You can also get traffic to a site *without* plenty of content. But as soon as you eliminate the traffic-part in every scenario, you cannot monetise your content. So, TRAFFIC > content.

You don't really NEED content in order to monetise traffic.

Heck, you could even sell bags of hot air, given you have enough traffic.
Peace.
