Very true. I totally agree with you Nick. Good content will attract links by itself you don’t have to ask for the links. So to get more incoming links it necessary to write a catchy content.

True, agree that the best kind of content should attract links naturally instead of having us to ask for links.

On the other hand, in reality, sometimes not all great content will managed to appear within the radar of the intended audience who can link to it hence I believe some form of “content marketing/outreach” will still be needed. (if the content is already getting links naturally, I might still want to do some additional outreach to see if more links can be earned)

(imagine the Youmoz that you linked to, if it was not hosted on SEOmoz but rather on some little unknown blog, chances are they probably will not be picked up and linked by you..)

Its just like how great products also need the complement of great marketing to do well (just my personal thoughts).

Interesting piece. Very useful to me (as someone who has neglected links and blogs…criminal, I know!). It has confirmed what I have been reading elsewhere/taught – now that ‘links’ pages are being nailed by Google, useful content really is the only way to get quality incoming links.
