I may have to disagree with you on this, Carlo. Good content coupled with excellent marketing can be a success, not just pure marketing alone.

But who says the king is the only one who has power?

Marketing is king because it’s what pulls in the visitors.

Without visitors, your blog is nothing more than one of million other blogs just lying out there collecting, not money, but dust.

Quality content just so happens to be what you need to turn those visitors into readers, that you can in turn offer special promotions, services, etc. to so you can earn revenue from your blog.

With that being said, I suppose you can conclude that quality content is queen.

Then again, what is a king without its queen? ;-)

I have always believed that the best marketing strategy that you can have is having great content to keep people from coming back.

I’m sure Carlo knows what he’s talking about. Look at his website..still in the top of the first page for a long time now. More Power to the Kid blogger! I’ve always believed too that content is King. Hmm may be its only the queen?

You know, that’s a very interesting take on the subject. Makes me think. :)

I think my perception changed after reading this post. Before, I believe that content is king.. Now, I definitely agree that marketing deserves to be the king.

I believe content and marketing both are essential part. Absence of any one of them makes a brand unsuccessful.
Anyways, I really liked your writing style Carl :)

I think you are partly correct. I believe that Content and Marketing go hand and hand in building a successful site. Too much marketing but crappy content makes it a bad site. It might get high ranks in at start but might be penalized in the end. So just post useful, relevant and unique content then mix it with smart marketing techniques.

haha, I do agree with you Carl, I have read so many SEO articles, as well as Google Webmaster Blog, and they are all saying that, “Article is a King”, in some point they are right, but, if they dont market their articles there will no leads right? So it simply says that, MARKETING, is a king. lols
And in all business marketing has a big role. This article is not new news to me, because based on my observation, indeed Marketing is what we have to focus on. And also put some quality to the content. Nice to read this. (June 29, 2012, 7:32 A.M.) hahaha

You are right about that. Spelling errors are a huge no-no. The right marketing plan along with great content will blow your income out the park.
