Debate: CONTENT Or TRAFFIC; Which One Is KING? by johntaiwo123(m): 7:30pm On Jun 30, 2017
Hi Nairalanders!

It is now a common say and it's everywhere on the Internet that "content is king" but
I was reading a post from a top internet marketer and he said Traffic is the king and not content!

These guys want to confuse me ooo. Abeg help me out.

I will like to ask, from your own experience.

Which one is King, is it Traffic or contents?

Drop your own opinion below!

Thanks!

Few content BUT MASSIVE TRAFFIC is better

try and pay someone here in Nairaland to write a quality article for you. The article will just be there and it will not fetch you a penny BUT write an averagely good content yourself then try to get MASSIVE TRAFFIC and see if you will not be smiling to be bank

Quality Backlink is D King
Quality Content is D Queen
They bring Quality Traffic, D Prince.
It's SEO bullshit to believe that content is king, as it can not drive itself without web links and how far can you burn your wallet to drive one time traffic, making traffic not the king but Backlinks. Most Top Articles in Serp are not truly the best but have more powerful web rings. For now, QB is da bomb until, probably Artificial intelligence is fully in force.

That's what they keep telling you and it's a lie... Content is never the king bro...
Seo is the King while content is the Queen...

Have you ever wondered wondered why nairaland always come first with the article you posted yourself on Google search before your blog that Contains the original article...

Same thing when bigger blog copy your post. You'll still be behind them in Google ranking of that copied post.

Dhur! Why does a 'talenltful' personality get 25 mill for a reality show while a first class graduate gets 250 (Twp hundred and fifty naira) for his effort?

Content remains the king. Without good content people will wane of your blog or site, it's imperative that people copy and paste links of quality content. It will eventually generate traffic

content is king is some sort of myth.

content might be queen but traffic is the undoubted King right from time. remember traffic is the blood of every site.

the statement content brings traffic is not entirely true nor false, it's complicated.

Traffic is the king
While content is the queen that sustains it.

Nigerians don't like to pay for a writer to write for them. They will want you to do it for free. And I'm wondering who does that
Re: Debate: CONTENT Or TRAFFIC; Which One Is KING? by misterh(m): 7:45am On Jul 01, 2017
In my opinion, I believe it boils down to why you started blogging in the first place. If your wish was to make money off it, traffic will be king to you. If your wish was to get your thoughts out there, content will definitely be king to you. I believe quality content would bring more loyal and engaging visitors to your blog.

We have high quality content on JarusHub.com, but we dont have much traffic ( average of 1000 views per day) due to our non-commitment to SEO techniques.

Content is good, but far from being the King.

its one thing to have content, its another thing for it to rank high on goggle so that when people search for keywords related to the contents, your content becomes one of the 1st 3 items in the search result to be clicked. so content + ranking = traffic

The anthem of SEO experts that content is king is all hogwash. Good content is very good but content without traffic is nothing. It's like having a very good product that no one knows about. Isn't it better to have an average product that a lot of people know about?

What frustrates a lot of people out of internet business the most is lack of adequate traffic.
