Links vs. Content: A Needless Debate - The Royal Couple work together for your website
(Page 4 of 4 )
Since you can control the on page content of your website, it is tempting to let King Content rule the Kingdom alone.
Content alone may be enough to gain high search engine rankings in lightly contested, and perhaps in moderately competitive keyword situations. In more highly competitive keyword searches, however, a single content only policy may not be enough to win the first page on the results.
On the other hand, it is wise to avoid a strategy that considers only the Queen, and emphasizes links at the expense of content. You will not get the full benefit from the search engines either, because the algorithms consider both links and content to be important.
Working with the strong content idea, links will be naturally attracted to your site. Be sure to not be too passive, and expect sites to simply link on their own. An active recruitment tactic will bring in even more links to your site.
A strong search engine optimization strategy will consider both links and content. There is no reason to ignore links for content or vice versa. King Content and Queen Links working together as a Royal Family will get your website to the Palace, in the form of high search engine rankings.
Let the King and Queen work in harmony for you.
