Link or content?

I think both are important for a good site.

 

Like air and food, I prefer to focus to content above links and onpage SEO

 

Earth and Sky... Mix and match my friend just mix and match you'll get the gist of it

 

If you have good content then you can get good back links easily . Just keep generating good and new quality content for google search and you can find your blog readers increasing day by day .

 

AGREE!

“Good wine needs no bush”

 

Both are important, but I'd still place links a step higher.

 

in my personal view, content is more important. because if your site is useful, informative then you will get clicks more once your vistors visit your pages

 

I'm going to have to add one more vote for content.

If a site has good content that my visitors would find helpful, I'll link to it in a heartbeat. If however, the site is only looking for a link, and has nothing to offer my customers...not a chance.

 

From my recent experiments, I definitely have found inbound relevant links to be my most beneficial SEO strategy

Lately, I have been using the 'Conduit Method' (which entails using very little content) and after building up some relevant links with linkvana, I have managed to get every single one of my 'conduit pages' to the 1st page of Google, Yahoo and Bing for my targeted keywords

Cheers

 

I think I will have to put in a vote for the zoroastrianist dualism of mutual coexistence.

Without one, the other would not only be ineffective, but quite possibly not exist all together.

Putting equal efforts into on & off page SEO will yield the most fruitful results.

 

both lol matt cuts says it nicely in one video on youtube... Ofcourse the content is a bit more important, since links without content are nothing , content without links is something (very little though =) )

 

Thanks a lot to everyone. Great response here. I think we can learn a lot from here. Lot of wise people here. thanks again

 

hehe glad we could help lol

 

I think content is king and link is queen how is that

 

And together they make a kickass baby named PR

 

Well, I'd have to agree with everybody above that links and content go together. Theoretically, they are equally important, but...

In the real world, the vast majority of webmasters don't spend anywhere near enough time on links. I was in this group myself, for years, until not so long ago.

The real world challenge for most webmasters is to shift some focus from content to links. Instead of 95% content / 5% links, more like 50/50.

Of course, readers of this link forum probably don't need this advice, but most webmasters need it pretty bad, imho.

 

Both important. But Content is more important - people link to good content. Goodluck

 

Links are far more important than links. There is a general saying that if you provide good content then links will come but still, links are better. If you have crappy content, but good links to it, you will still rank high.

 

Hi James,

This is some thing which is often raised up for discussions.
Its not the SEO services which popularizes the sites in Search engines but also its content. They both go hand in hand. I mean SEO services are fruitful only if the site has some good content.

It is obvious that Content! rates higher than links
