One successful approach to SEO strategy is to focus on producing high-quality, relevant content that meets the needs of your target audience. This includes conducting keyword research and incorporating those keywords naturally throughout your content. Another essential strategy is optimizing your website's technical aspects, such as improving site speed, mobile-friendliness, and URL structure. Building authoritative backlinks from reputable websites and engaging in guest blogging can also boost your website's visibility. Additionally, optimizing your website's meta tags, titles, and descriptions can improve its appearance in search engine results. Remember, SEO is an ongoing process, and it's important to stay up-to-date with industry trends and algorithm changes to adapt your strategies accordingly.

I would say content is the most important. Otherwise, all your other stuff looks like some scheme to game the system. In other words, you might be assumed to be cheating users of good content, the main purpose of a website usually.

Each of these strategies is important in its own right, their effectiveness vary depending on your specific goals and circumstances. Content optimization ensures your content is discoverable and valuable to users. Technical SEO provides a strong foundation for search engine visibility, and link building can amplify your site's authority.

To determine supremacy, consider your priorities. Are you looking to enhance the user experience and content quality? Prioritize content optimization. If site structure and performance are key, focus on technical SEO. Need to boost authority and credibility? Emphasize link building. In reality, it's often a combination of these strategies that yields the best results. So, the "supreme" strategy depends on your unique needs and goals.

I think its the technical SEO that is the most important. One can definitely have good content and right keywords but if the structure (Technical) is not right the content is of no use at all. I have spent a lot of time on one of my forums which generally used to have clicks on google ranging between 300-500 per day for a 4 year old website, which is very less. But once we started working on the Technical Part Fixing structure and other improvements. Our clicks on google started ranging from between 750-1200 per day. It simply just helped us reach the right set of audience within weeks. Graph for reference.

see, and I agree but think these 2 are essentially equal. Link building, IMO, is a distant third. Focus on a strong engaging website, that is technically sufficient. The links will come.
