I'm not understanding you Geme. You say, "free backlinks...is better than backlinks"?
And yes, good content will be content people will want to link to - but how
will they find your site among the millions (or 1k depending on your niche)
of sites on the internet? So both are important, content being King, and backlinks
being the Road To The Kingdom!

Yes... content and backlinks are both important.

For me Orginial Content (Hard to find) and google loves it..
And backlinks u can buy backlinks from everywhere .. buy+backlinks - Google Search

I believe both are important but primarily the content and as the other guys say original content.

Why make a duplicate of something else. People like to see something fresh and if they see something the same as they already know and use then they are just gonna adopt the attitude of whats the point joining here or looking any further.

Obviously you cannot make it 100% original but at least try and make it 50% and the other 50% is good for the people who are newbies or for the oldies to browse within your site rather than returning to where they were visiting before.

Thats my opinion anyways.

As for backlinks you should attain those easily once you have good content. Apart from the backlinks i have worked for I have over 1000 backlinks attained by other people adding my links to sites and through others adding to signature in other forums.

Regarding forums people tend to be like sheep in this way if 1 goes soon many follow.
I started a dog site for a rare breed(meaning not many owners worldwide) i told about 6 people and 4 months later i have over 240 members and 60% are daily visitors and of the remaining i would say that 35% visit 2 or 3 times per week.
