Let's answer a few SEO questions

Are backlinks dead?
No. Matt Cutts admitted that their search results look much worse when they didn't consider links.
Is content king?
Yes, and no. Great content alone won't achieve great rankings, but it will attract natural links. A few great links can turn a great piece of content into a super piece of top ranking content.
Do nofollow links help?
Google says no, but many of us in the SEO industry believe otherwise. Many people have done tests in which only nofollow links were used, and they succes­sfully ranked highly in Google.
