Let's say I have a site, example.com, that offers users a variety of unique website templates and design tips. One of the strongest ranking factors is my site's content. Additionally, perhaps my site is also linked from three sources -- however, one inbound link is from a spammy site. As far as Google is concerned, we want only the two quality inbound links to contribute to the PageRank signal in our ranking.
Create unique and compelling content on your site and the web in general
* Start a blog: make videos, do original research, and post interesting stuff on a regular basis. If you're passionate about your site's topic, there are lots of great avenues to engage more users.
If you're interested in blogging, see our Help Center for specific tips for bloggers.
* Teach readers new things, uncover new news, be entertaining or insightful, show your expertise, interview different personalities in your industry and highlight their interesting side. Make your site worthwhile.
* Participate thoughtfully in blogs and user reviews related to your topic of interest. Offer your knowledgeable perspective to the community.
* Provide a useful product or service. If visitors to your site get value from what you provide, they're more likely to link to you.

Google analyzes over 200 ranking factors
According to the article in Google's blog, Google analyzes more than 200 signals (we call them 'ranking factors') to specify the position of a web page in the search results:
"Given the user's query, over 200 signals (including the analysis of the site's content and inbound links as mentioned above) are applied to return the most relevant results to the user."
It's a simple two-step process
Getting high rankings on Google is a simple two-step process:
1. You must optimize your web page contents so that Google can find out what your website is about. Optimize your web pages for your keywords so that Google knows that your website is relevant to these keywords and your topic.
2. Other websites must confirm that your website is about that topic. That's what inbound links are for.
It's as simple as that. If your website passes Google's analysis of all ranking factors, it will get a top 10 ranking.

The fact that he started his sentence with One of the strongest ranking factors is my site's content is an indicator that it's not the only top factor to consider in determining a websites ranking in search engine result.
I'm not saying it's not important its just that we shouldn't focus to content alone.
That's right, you can not just focus on content alone, it is the strongest factor in SEO, followed by backlinks, then hundreds of other factors that search engines look for, including site age, where the domain is hosted etc...
To successfully optimize a site, you must address as many of the search engine indicators as possible.
I think you guys need to stop guessing and find out the facts. content is not key, check out sites for keywords over 1,000,000 searches. they all have hardly any content. just age and a good link structure. google ranking and keyword placement all depends on what system they use. They have 4 at there disposal and mix them around all the time. knowing that bit of info is the key.
Content is king and it plays big role in ranking factor but it not means that other factor are not considerable... back link is also plays the big role to ranking on site.. I have seen many sites that haven't good content and they are just the search page but they ranking very well..
Absolutely correct. Content is king in the eyes of Google. Hence the focus should be creating unique content and it should be related to current topics, so that more readers can show their interest. In this relation, an example can be seen at my site at assignment help Australia regarding the ways in which content is organised. This can give an idea about content relevance to rank better at Google.
