Definitely true. In fact, I'd go so far to argue that marketing is more important than the actual product! Look at McDonald's and The Rich Jerk. Both offering incredibly crappy product but both are as popular as they can be!
This is so true. It's the web 2.0 revolution. Good content used to be enough because people would just search for things through google or another search engine. Now people find you through forums, other blogs, or through digg/stumble upon. Search engines are becoming less and less important in todays world. Still important, but less important. So when you say you need to market your blog you are completely right
Marketing the content is very tough....I don know, but its very difficult to promote a blog properly, if an individual is running it...Promotion will be done....But it will receive limited audiences....

You need to focus on making sure its seo friendly, make sure to atleast get close on some important keywords. Use social networking to your advantage, and make sure you checked and double checked your post for typos.
Formatting above and beyond all else will help you the most when you surpass the 400 word mark. Generally around that point it has to be really really well written and formatted correctly in order to keep someones attention.
If it is not scannable, your not going to capture anyone. Take a less from the pro's and from me you need to format!
Definitely agree 100%. I have been in so many forums where people come in asking how to get traffic to their site and the answer is usually 'write good content and it will come'. Bah! You could write the best content in the world and still get no one to your site. Promotion is so important...but then again there is no good getting thousands of people to your site if you content is crap. A little of both goes a long way.
As bloggers we have created a monster that is going to be difficult to stop. Content was king and is still the body of work your site is judged on, but giveaways and link love seem to be what drives traffic right now, and there is nobody to blame for that except ourselves.
Well I agree only writing a good content and putting it out there and waiting for visitors to find you is not a good approach. Marketing is the key. How To Do Anything in 10 ways

Great content/product is not enough to generate traffic or sell a product. Marketing is the way. If one believes so much in his content or product, but don't know how to market it, then let the experts do the marketing for you.
In todays world i think that you dont have enough time to write/post you content by your self,and this is the big mistake in "make money" bussines you need to have a team and start to promote your blog...just my 2 cents :D

One without the other produces zero results.
There are always people who will take your content {even if they need a little persuasion} - you just have to find them. That's called marketing.
