Hi There,

Although many different point of views can be have regarding just which ones are still the determining factors, but do you still believe that one can get to the top of the search engines using only one of them and completely forgetting about the other one?

For example, just concentrating on link developing and forgetting about the web pages onpage points?

I guess the two should be consider to be partners in obtaining good rankings in SERP.. Keep in mind that your doing those things for the benefits of the searchers as well as the readers..

If you want to get ranking in search then you have to do both on page and off page optimization. content of your site should be unique and good. you have to include title tag, meta tags and do off page optimization.

Content and link building for sure has the biggest factor.

On page and off page optimization..both are important to get good SERP in search engines.Link building is important to raise PR of the site.

You can't ignore the other one 'coz they are partners... One can live without the other...

And your SEO optimization is useless if you don't do the two properly...

I agree with you cooluks on-page and off page are still partners for having a good SERP.

No, both on page and off page optimisation are important. On page seo, you optimize every page of the website. In which includes, meta description, page title tags, header tags, content optimisation. While the off page it includes article marketing, blogging, link building and social bookmarking.

A combination of both on-page optimization and off-page optimization will help you rank well in SERPs.

• Meta Tag Placement (Title, Keywords, Description and others)
• Image Optimization (Alt Tags)
• Web Page Optimization (Pages titled with relevant keywords)
• Robots.txt
• XML Sitemap
• Search Engine Verification and Sitemap Submission

Off-page Optimization:
• Directory Submission
• Articles Submission
• Press Release Submission
• Squidoo Lens Creation
• Hub Pages Creation
• Social Bookmarking (Digg, Delicious, Stumble, Reddit etc.)
• Blog Posting
• Forums participation
• Classified Ads
• Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn etc.)

You can build backlink as well get good pr with Good Content and On page. But without On page you never get nice results. On page is must compulsory.

it doesn't work well without the help of each other... on page and off page optimization SHOULD be done together properly.

Onpage and off page both are work well if you have good techniques to do that.

Backlinks are important. But you should not spend all your time creating them. On-page optimization is also important; ensuring quality content, proper title tags, utilizing the <h1> tags, etc. Off-page and on-page optimization should go together. Without the other, you really can't ensure reaching the top.
