Viral marketing is a methods of list building

I'm finding, through personal experience, that SEO is not that important to a lot of companies. I believe this is because there is no tangible immediate gain. There is nothing that your company's decision-makers can put a finger on that can be labeled as a tangible benefit. SEO also takes time to show a result and a lot of businesses want to work on things that show an immediate benefit to the exclusion of SEO. Instant gratification has positive gains now, but no gains (and sometimes negative gains) down the road.

SEO is very important. If you want a mediocre site that just barely gets by with low ad revenues and minuscule traffic numbers, stick to the status quo. If you want a site that rocks with high traffic and high ad revenues, work on your SEO.

SEO, however, does not have to be the only priority. SEO can actually be done in a relatively short amount of time each day. A couple of blog posts, a couple of comments on other blogs, and some forum posts can be enough for a day's work. There are even passive approaches, such as using the Alexa toolbar. These are just some simple examples. There are a lot more SEO tasks that can be done. It really could be a full time job in and of itself.
