What is the #1 SEO factor

Content content content OR Enterprise enterprise enterprise. Everything else is the grey in the middle and what works for one will destroy the other. Not our thing, there is an exact balance in the middle but that will evade 99.999%. Content is based on time and the amount of resource you have, enterprise is based on efficiency and technology automation, the middle is an exact balance of the two.

You would think, judging from the amount of posts here lately, that the number one factor is 2 to 5 no-follow, exact anchor text links from the Warrior Forum irrespective of the sites they link to

theres lot of factors

It all builds up and if you do them all right you will be able to get a high rank easly. Just do everything you can do to raise your ranking and dont neglect the other factors.

Backlinks, well-researched, engaging (KW optimized) content, anchor text...

I would say that all aspects are equally important... If you have "perfect" backlinks, and badly done anchor text, you will be deindexed! If you have a perfect content that's not KW researched and SEO optimized, you can't have 100% benefit from backlinks!

And so on, and on, and on, and on...

Dedication

You need dedication to research and write awesome content. And dedication to erase it and start over if you see it is not good enough.

You need dedication to make your content seen, trough social media, or Linkbuilding.
You need dedication to learn about SEO, positive practices, longterm results.
You need dedication to build links (it can be frustrating in times)
You need dedication to test your titles / meta descriptions for higher conversion...

Well ****, you need dedication and some base knowledge how to get from A to B, and the ability to learn the path

Crap load of back links.

Actually there are a lot of factors responsible for SEO. High quality and unique content is most effective of them. You can get ranked only by high quality content and few backlinks from establish websites.

I would say Quality Content is what dominates the search engines. As simple as that.

Why? .. because quality content gets more social shares naturally, gets more backlinks naturally, and gets more comments naturally.

Quality Content is what leads in the search engines. Plain and simple. Everything else comes after naturally.

Just think about it .....

....come on! ... really think about it ....

If you want to rank up in the search engines very well, then your content needs to have a lot of natural backlinks, a lot of social share, and a lot of comments. The more engagement on the blog post, the better.

And how do you get more people to share your content, and more people to link back to your content? .. by creating something EPIC and UNIQUE. Your content has to be soooo damn good that you would feel bad if you didn't share it or linked back to it.

What do you do when you find a very very valuable blog post? .. a unique, and epic blog post that has solved the problem you had ....

You are more likely to bookmark that blog post, aren't you!? ... and you are probably going to share it on a social network too. And if you have a blog related to that blog post, you are more likely to link to it ... why?... because the blog post was sooo damn good!

That is the type of quality content you need to lead with online. That is the type of quality content that gets natural social shares, backlinks, and comments. And these are 3 factors you need to work on in order to rank up in the search engines.

I hope this makes sense! lol

I wish you the best!

Cheers!

#1 SEO factor is to follow all the required tasks for SEO regularly and not focus on just one method.

Backlinks and optimised titles are the #1 ranking factors. It's not wise to fixate on one ranking factor because a combination of over 200 factors are used to rank sites, and each of them are highly important in their own way and depending on the site in question.

the number factor is the content than after that the backlinks.... so build great content and on that good quality backlinks .....

Well, yes. Those two are very important. However, it's not just about content, but having a website that serves some users and has (or at least can have) a real audience or a customer base. You know, a website that actually brings value to some people. This should be your goal with any site.

Too often the discussion is actually about some low quality "build-for-SEO" sites.

High quality backlinks is number one for good SEO.

I see several sites ranked with 0 content and ranked #1, with only quality backlinks.
