Google ranking and web site traffic

[3Dprof4Online]

I am just wondering if Google takes into account the number of website visitors when ranking their web sites?

Actually I don't think they do. Their algorithm is set to find the most relative website for the keyword you search for. SE based more on contents & quality back links.

Its really hard to say as Google's algo is not an open book for us. All that I am sure of is that Google values the offpage optimization more than the onpage side of things.
