Content and SEO go hand-in-hand. Without one, your efforts on the other are seriously diminished. For example, your keyword research won't do much good unless you then use those keywords in your content. And, creating content without knowing what your audience is looking for will leave you without any significant traffic. Beyond that, high quality content is what earns you backlinks, and it's also what search engines crawl when they arrive at your site.
This page is your home base for learning about content and its role in SEO. The resources here are useful for learners of all skill levels.
