As a usability specialist I have no problems in saying that SEO generally brings in more traffic. Usability is about people being able to use a site after you've got them there. You talk about usability but you're first 2 points are about aesthetics. Point 3 I agree with but you also have to make sure you're using the correct vocabulary. If your user is looking for 'bed linen' then you must use these words rather than blankets and pillows. This information is usually available in your web analytics.
