The old debate that has been around forever and will likely be discussed for a long time, due to the fact that both matter in some way and mean a lot when it comes to building an online audience. It all depends on what you want. If SEO is your journey and you are looking for ways to boost traffic, content is the thing you should be focusing on as this determines your blogs authority. But when it comes to backlinks (or social shares ), they too have their place. When looking at linking to a website, you need to see if the link is from a relevant source, or not. Just like having a high domain authority, links from relevant websites (and/or sites with good rankings) can boost your SEO slightly, as it tells Google that your site is highly regarded, which gives you a little more respect in search results (depending on what keyword is being searched).
