Are backlinks still the main ranking factor in 2026 ?
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?- Raza_R
