Content IS king?

What is your guys though about content, I mean would you say that content helps your ranking on all pages, or just more pages are indexed in google, and the better chance you'll get hits on one of them pages?

or is it the more pages you got, the more google values your domain together?

I don't know which way it is, quite frankly, although I would think that having more quality pages does increase your chances of being found on Google. Isn't that why blogs and forums are good for SEO? More pages being indexed?

Frankly, I'm not a monarchist, more of a republican.

Seriously, quality content helps, but it is just one ingredient in the pie. If no one knows about your quality content, it's just going to sit there unvisited. Mediocre content on a trusted domain will beat quality content on an untrusted domain any day.

Ahh... and again I see this content is king question popping up... Well the links John posted will help you a lot... And one small mantra... Quality content is king alright but anchor links from trusted domains related to your niche is the "Emperor"...

content is king if your providing something unique that attracts people and makes them want to come back, is content king from a search engine perspective? maybe its duke or earl but for the long run its always gonna come down to what you offer people imo

In my opinion even if the importance of links may decrease by time for search engines, the importance of quality content will increase. The quality content is always quality content but quality link may be a sold link! The aim of searchengines is to find correct content for a search query. Search engines will will continue to search for quality content but not highest number of backlinks! Counting backlinks is just a simple hack to find correct content. In myopinion, the importance of backlinks will decrease by time.

How will search engines know what is quality content and what isn't? The same way they do now: LINKS.

Wouldn't it be better to say that Content and Links are a happily married King and Queen?

Links let search engines gauge the value of a site and content gives people something to link to.

Links are king for SE rankings (SEO).

Content (good content) is king for marketing and conversions.

YES! Right on! And btw, "content" is not solely "text". It can come in any form. For example pictures in a book are part of its content. People link to music sites because of the "music" content, flickr has pictures... and so on.

Exactly. It is the interesting and useful content which drives the traffic and natural links. Links only pave the way to coming traffic.

Hee hee. Instead of arguing back and forth - content vs. links, how bout we just admit that you really need to focus on both of them

It is true that you might get tons of traffic with good links, and loose them instantly with no content. Just like you will get no traffic with top-quality content and no links.

I dont agree as far as i understand your comment.

Search engines using links to understand quality content at this stage of searge engine technology because they dont have a better alternative. They are just using existing info until it becomes unusable!!

But this info is already started to be cheated by webmasters! One day webmasters will laugh when they learned that search engines and webmasters were so dependent on links. Think about H1 tags. How google was threating them and how they are threating them now?

So how will search engines find quality content? I dont know. If i know, then i could create another Google And this is more like a sciencetific question. Once the technology/science finds better ways to analyze qualiy of information and answer a query, they will be incorporated to their systems.

The essence of search engines is to find quality content for a specific query! That is the unchangable fact, others (backlinks, use of h1 tag, keyword frequency) are all time dependent!

I think content is the base of any website. Quality and original content is really important and they definitely help to promote a website. A strong base is a basic requirement to look forward towards our goal; other things are the coming steps to achieve that goal. First of all a strong base is needed to stay in the long run. Links are also very imp because Promotion of a website is a step by step strategy, so every part of it has its own importance.
