Exactly - My advice is to do both. I can't figure out why you're stuck on the premise that you can get tons of links without content. Why do readers need to make a choice here?

Exactly! You don't care! Dell got ranked for years and years of content development and millions of dollars spent in brand development and advertising. They have thousands of affiliated service centers, support centers, corporate partnerships -- they give donations to schools (computers)and are acknowledged for their givings - where do you suggest readers get these links if they're not Dell?

As a matter of "linking" your answer removes the fundamental reason why others would want to link - content!

No, Fathom, I mean both your impotent keyword spamming SEO's, and your equally impotent content writing SEO's.

Content writing is not going to get you to the top of "web hosting". Content writing isn't going to get you to the top of "search engine optimization". Content writing isn't going to get you to the top of "viagra".

Anchor text and inbound links will.
hmmm... maybe I am impotent; I thought your own website actually did say something - I stand corrected! :-)
