Backlink is The Core of SEO, Is It True?

    SEO = On-Page Optimization + Off-Page Optimization

    Proportion of SEO:
    On-Page Optimization = 25%
    Off-Page Optimization = 75%

    Quality Backlinks = Off-Page Optimization

    Quality Backlinks = To get top ranking & to maintain top ranking in SERP.

    Everything is true? Please advise if i was wrong!

    thanks...

    Content first. With content will come natural backlinks.

    The way a site becomes an authority is by having more inbound links than it does outbound. This is what you want to aim for.

    Get great content written and submitted correctly and the links will come naturally - but the content is also something fresh for Google to see every time it comes back to your site.

    Write 30 documents and release them at a rate of 1 a day on your site. After a month you have some great fresh content and keep doing this :)

    They have probably been around for a long time or already have lots of links back in. There are many reasons why one site will rank above another and each needs to be looked at on its own merits. Impossible to say otherwise.

    in theory google wants fresh and original content followed by organic links. but only that will take a very long time to grow a site. so beside that help yourself a little by using forums/blog, social networking, because only good content won't do much.

    Using a proven technique that is completely white hat, it is very possible to have your internal site pages being ranked inside of 4 weeks. It's not hard, just requires dedication and a bit of hard graft.

    To my mind, the optimal proportion of on-page and off-page SEO is 50%/ 50%, because qualitative contents is as much important as qualitative backlinks.

    It is absolutely perfect that content is king for a site and back links also play a important role to rank a site in search engines. Always consider quality and relevent links then quantity.

    People are putting ever more emphasis on backlinks, and yes they are very important. But people will generate links to you whether on their blog or by social boomarking if your content is good. So content is still king.

    thanks for all. How about a website product? I think content is not a king for website product (not a blog). Backlinks is king, right?
    if your blog has a very very good quality content but no backlinks, it is useless, right ?
    Your blog can not compete with other blogs that have a lot of backlinks.

    You need both contents and backlinks to survive in the first page for longer period.

    Absolutely right. It's fairly easy to get onto page 1 but you need to continually build up your content and backlinks to stay there.

    Well, backlinks are basic element of SEO but the SERPs are really important for me. If our sites are not on the top of SERPs, we wont get huge traffic and thus sales would get effected. Therefore SERPs are more important for me.
