Content or Links: Which SEO Concept is Better?

The argument of the advantage of content over links, or vice versa, can be a never-ending debate. This is why many SEO experts advise just letting the matter pass. We all know that both of these factors are essential in SEO and neglecting one or the other could weaken SEO strategies.

Performing an SEO process without these two is no different from following outdated SEO strategies. Content plays a big part in websites catering to unpopular niches, because these sites have smaller chances of ranking through search engines. Who would search for toilet cleaning products on a daily basis? What the owners of these websites need to do is generate original content rich with high-rankingkeywords, so they can start working on powerful link building strategies. Actually, the same may be said for websites catering to highly popular niches. It may be harder for these websites to rank because of the tough competition. Without any doubt, unique content is still the key in achieving high website rankings.

Link building is useless without unique content. People on social media sites are attracted to great content, not to links. What is with links, anyway? These are just clickable words or phrases that direct you to a website or webpage. However, Web users know that the enticing keywords and phrases posted on social media sites may lead to something that might be beneficial to them. Therefore, once these links catch the attention of Web users, users click on the links. This justifies the role of links in content; what bridges these two concepts is the keyword.

A keyword powers both links and content. It attracts Web users and search engines. Keywords are exact words or phrases people use on search engines. This stresses the importance of choosing your keywords well. Knowing a keyword’s popularity, competition, and importance could save you from SEO content and link disasters.

Continuous link building is about creating networks through your links. Sharing and distributing hundreds of links on Facebook and Twitter won’t assure you long-lasting high traffic. If your links lead senseless content, people will stop clicking on your current links, as well as the links you post in the future. If you want to go viral, write unique content and make it popular through extensive link building.

Don’t leave your SEO strategies hanging by focusing on just one of these two essential SEO concepts. You need to use both concepts to your advantage in order to achieve SEO success for your website.
