    Firstly i would say that both are vital. And if you have that great skills in writing unique and relevant content and if the people like it, then they'll automatically share your links with them. Here you got backlinks as well. So in my point of view, you are better to pay attention on both:) good luck

    First of all both have much importance for website promotion and getting good worth. But high SEO work and strong backlinks some times give good results than content management.

    Depends who you and who developed your site is.

    If your a big brand with lots of links and traffic already content is king.

    If your starting up with few back links and little traffic, Links and social buzz are very important too.

    I am guessing you need to be paying more attention to links than you want to.

    Content is a great thing, and you seem to have a good understanding. But, in order to gain links your going to have create / and go get them outside from your own website.

    Both have significant importance, if you were to give one more weight though, it would have to be on links.

    Why? Poor quality websites can still rank if they have an excellent backlink profile. On the flip side, you could have the highest quality website in the world- but without any links pointing to it, nobody will see it and you aren't going to rank for your chosen search terms.

    High quality and "unique" content is surely more important.

    Content is more important now than it used to be, as search engines have gotten better & now rank websites more based on their content, rather than cheap SEO tricks. With lots of relevant text content on your website, you'll still need to do some SEO, but not too much.

    content is the most important via the google panda update

    what google is looking for now is how people interact with your site

    backlinks no longer are the dominating factor

    I saw a video at Yandex Video about how yandex is the new model for google
    because of artificial intelligence being used to determine if your sites should rank at the top

    keep in mind it is still important to have some links it is only natural a good site accumulates them
    but not like in the past when people blasted them to infinity

    good luck

    You need to have both to increase visitors. If you have no strong content and a bunch of back links, traffic won't be sustainable. On the other if you spend all your time to create content, and don’t have any back links, nobody can find your site and you have no visitors.

    Content and Backlinks both are important. In search of better user experience and great content, search engines have set in their algorithms backlinks as a powerful indicator of quality content. So, it would be not bad to say both content and backlinks have equal importance.

    Its more of a catch 22, because it in order to get good backlinks, content has to be created.

    Content is very important for a website, quality content will be more effective. Backlink is useful in increasing the traffic.So both Content and backlink is important.
