Sometimes it feels like Google is changing every other week… but one thing I keep testing is backlinks. Even now, the right backlink can move a page faster than months of just waiting for Google. What’s your take are backlinks still the fastest way to push rankings, or have you seen other signals work better lately?

I’ve seen sites with great content struggle because they lack backlinks… and I’ve also seen average content rank just because it had the right links. In your experience, which one makes the bigger difference content or backlinks?

Ever noticed how a single backlink from the right site can sometimes outperform dozens of low-quality links? It’s not always about DR or volume relevance and real traffic matter way more. Curious to hear from you all Do you focus more on quality or quantity when building links?
