If you really want to do that experiment, Janeth, I suggest that you do it both ways and check the results in more than one search engine.
However, I would caution you that even showing that you can achieve a top 10 ranking for links alone, or content alone, or that both work, you still will not have established that using both links AND content is not the best strategy for most websites.
Especially, when you factor in the "visitor" factor. How many people are going to click on that top 10 site with no content and stay for longer than about 10 seconds? How many "sales" or "customers" is that page going to bring you?
It's nice to have these theoretical debates from time to time - I enjoy them too - but let's be clear that to advise someone trying to promote a new website or to improve the ranking of an existing website to ignore either links or content is simply bad and potentially harmful advice.
...in my opinion, of course... ;o)
