I'd rather have SEO, it's well documented that ugly sites sell things well.

I think those two are sort of different things, although design help SEO.

I would prefer SEO. Because I have seen crapy looking sites make millions of dollars doing SEO right. For example Zappos.com is the biggest shoes, accessories site; looks crappy but they sale millions every month.

I would definitely go with SEO. If your site has good content and people like what they find there AND you can get good traffic then you'll be fine.

You can achieve both. An SEO site does not have to be dull looking at all.

If there is a choices and you will pick only one.. I will choose SEO, in SEO you can create site or blog with a good design (it's up to you). And you are not only focus on promotion but also you can do both.

Design and SEO can go hand-in-hand, design is not only about the aestheics because the html structure can play a huge part in SEO.

It's hard to choose which one is better. So I choose them both. I think they must well coordinated with each other.
