Many links look good on reports…
but fail to deliver results.

Because:

▸ No traffic
▸ No relevance
▸ No visibility

Real SEO value comes from contextual and relevant links.

What matters more to you — quality or quantity?

Yeah, quality for sure. What's the point of a bunch of dead links if they don't actually get the work we do seen? Gotta have that context and relevance to actually make an impact

quality hands down. I spent time chasing volume, directories, blog comments and link packages that looked good on href but did nothing for rankings.

what worked was fewer links from pages that had real traffic and were topically related to what I was ranking for. one relevant guest post is better than 50 listings

I'd pick quality over quantity. A few relevant links seem to help more than lots of random ones with no real value. Still figuring things out, but this approach feels more reliable.

I’d say quality but not the fluffy kind people tal
I’ve pushed sites with a ton of links before, looks great on reports but does nothing i
Give me fewer links that are actually indexed, relevant, and get some eyeballs… those always hit harder than pure volume.
