Does traffic has correlation with search engine ranking?

To increase search engine ranking, we need to take care on metatag, look for quality link partner, keywords in paragraph, quality related info, smartpage..

But some one say that if our website traffic increase, search engine ranking will increase as well.

Will that be true?

Traffic does not effect web site ranking.

But web site ranking does effect your traffic, being that the better your web site is optimized, the better chance that your pages/sites are ranked better, thus leading to more traffic and conversions. :p

If we mean "keyword ranking" as an influencer to web traffic, it should be that ranking CAN affect web traffic. Sometimes highly ranked keywords are unpopular so they have minimal effect on traffic.
