Are backlinks still the main ranking factor in 2026
or is topical authority starting to matter more?
I’ve noticed some sites ranking with strong content but very few links.
Curious to hear real experiences — are backlinks still moving the needle for you?
Lately I’ve noticed a few exact match domains ranking faster than branded domains in certain niches.
Especially in:
Local services
Gambling
Micro-niche affiliate sites
Do you think EMDs are gaining weight again, or is it just low competition?
Would love to know if anyone tested this recently.
