which one is more important on page seo or off page seo?

can any one tell which one is more important on page or off page optimization? If I want to get no1 ranking on what I should give more emphasize? On page or off page optimization?

 

I think both are important. You cannot ignore one and go after other and get the results.

 

both Its best to do both on page is is only once if you do it good. off page takes more time. I think its 50% for each.

 

when competition is more then is it possible to get good rank only on the on page seo. I think then we need off page. Depending on the on page seo you can not go very far. am I right?

 

For good ranking only on the on page seo.Both is important.

Do on page first (to make it relevant in the eyes of search engines) and then start off page. To be direct, off page can give you the ranking.

 

As the others said above, both are just as important. On page seo is almost pointless with out off page seo, and off page seo is almost pointless without on page seo. However, on page seo can only be done to an certain extent at which point there is nothing more really to do accept update with quality content. After that off page seo never stops.

 

Both are important, but if I had to choose one, I'd choose on-page.

Inbound links can come from anywhere, a blogger may link to your site for instance, and if your on-page is good, you'll reap benefits. If however you have lots of quality links pointing at a bad page, the benefits could be just as good. It's a tough one to call, luckily we don't have to choose and can do both!

 

it's up to you, but better you doing two a both, to get best traffic..

 

No matter what anyone tells you the key to achieving solid rank for your websites is 10% on-page optimization (content on your pages) and 90% off-page optimization... in other words, the key to top search engine rankings is garnering quality LINKS! And lots of them.

 

On and off .. both are important... u have to take care of both

 

I think on page is more important if I had to choose. If you made a site with excelelnt on page seo and had a really good site with lots of good content, you would get organic backlinks, the way its supposedly 'supposed' to be. You can spend $0 by getting your site perfect and sit back and let it climb. It would take a while, but still. If your gonna pick 1, thats my choice.
By the way, why when someone asks a quesiton like this people say "both"?

 

Both are important, of course on page is slightly important than off page. However, you need both of them

 

You can't ignore any of them. If you have a flash website, you have no choice but to rely a lot of off-page SEO.

 

For me Onpage is more important. If Onpage SEO is good and there is good content then links will come in naturally.

 

Good content doesn't mean on-page SEO. I agree that good content fetches lots of links with a small 'nudge'

 

I am telling if OnPage seo is good and and and and and and good content is there.

 

Content is related to off page. But in on page you must include a good description good title related to your site. As per Google point of view both are important.

 

i would agree with that post too.

 

even though on page is important, I think off page is more important because you will rank better for a keyword just based on the anchor text you put in a link
