How much does traffic have to do with SE rank? Like what is the SE difference between 100 and 1000 hits. Would it be a matter of page 30 and page 1 rank. Well you get it, explain as thoroughly as possible please! Thank you on advance

None at all

The search engines don't know how much traffic your website gets...unless you happened to have Google Analytics installed. Even if you GA installed, the search engines won't give your site a boost just based on that traffic info as it would be unfair to the websites that they don't have stats for. Giving a ranking boost based on traffic would also lead to people exploiting the algorithm by using robots to generate fake traffic.

kind of cart before the horse

Should the goal be "quality traffic"?
If you are getting traffic for the purpose of SE rank, then what is the point of SE rank?

I can't fully understand your question but if I got it right... traffic of your site doesn't have a direct relation with your SERPs rankings. Even if you have huge traffic (1000 hits) it doesn't mean that you can rank better to those sites with 100 hits.

guys from above are right, traffic has no relation to your SERP but SERPs have a good relation to your traffic... the better you rank in Search Engines, more traffic would visit your site

I've heard before that bounce rate actually plays some part in your rankings.

Yes you said right, this is point I want to say as well. With my site when I got traffic increased by 30 %, also SERP results bounce up for the certain keywords.

Not matters.
and above all comments are true...

In Google I think it does have a lot to do with se ranking. Traffic generates PageRank and better PageRank gets you higher rankings.

Traffic has no impact directly, but if you have a popular site (legitimate traffic) then webmasters will link to you as a reference point, improving SERPs.

I agree to the statement above.Search engines has nothing to do with your traffics unless you are subscribe to one of their advertising way.
