What is best for SEO? Content or links?

My new website is on page 1 for its keyword after about 4 weeks. It made page 2 after 2 weeks. I added new content and posted links.

Could I have achieved page 1 without links? Is content alone enough?

Posting links gets really boring...

Content and Links are two sides of the same coin, you need to have a unique content and at the same time you need to spread a word about your site through link posting. Using both will only help you to increase your sites popularity and eventually the PR.

"New" pages ALWAYS "rank highly" in their first few weeks in the results.

contents and links works hand in hand, you can't just build contents without having some links backing it up, quality links and quality contents are the best.

Content isn't enough to get good rankings. Sites tend to slip down the rankings if they don't have sufficient links to support their position.

Remember, a link = a vote. The more votes your page has, the better it will rank. Of course what it ranks for depends on the content.

Both are equally important in my opinion as Content is important to for traffic and Back links are important for the PR and SERP. Thus both are important.

Can't agree more Ed. What's happening with people who employ paid SEO is that they get the top SERP positions. But extremely hard pushed for keeping it since they don't put that much of an effort to keep the traffic coming in on a regular basis. SEO is a continuous thing. You let your reins rest and the horses go awry. If the SEO and the webmaster is not passionate about what he/she does, it's not going to work out (in terms of ranking on the long run).

Links on first priority and content on second priority.Because an average content with higher visibility will be more fruitful as compared to higher quality content with low visibility.

Thanks & Regards,

I don't agree with that, lets say you build up great links and get 2,000 visitors perday, but your content is crap, thats 2,000 people perday who will never visit your site again, that will never recommend your site, basically you have 2,000 unhappy people everyday your building up links to crap content, you have good or great content thats 2,000 people that are happy and some may even post links to your content or mention your page to their friends, content is your first priority.

Content is the best thing for seo. But To promote that content keyword at that time link is very important.

There is no one thing in SEO, no strategies are gold. SEO is a living breathing monster that must have continuous food to remain alive. The algorithm is constantly changing so things that work today may not work tomorrow.

Test, test, test some more..... then re-test....

Yes it is continually changing, but I would imagine their aims are to provide good content in high serps rather than crap that someone has posted 100 links to.
