What do you think is the most important when doing SEO? Keywords, Backlinks, or Content? Or do you think all 3 are equally important?
Or something else is more important than those three?

Content is and will always be king of ka-ching.
And a picture is still worth a thousand words, more than ever.
That being said, keywords (tags and captions for pictures) get them indexed.
Backlinks should be a natural result of doing the first two correctly, ie: sharing.

Clarification, this post was about SEO, not marketing in general.
If you just want to sell a product using an affiliate website then
all you need are the right keywords or well placed links/backlinks.
If you want your own website to rank then content should be the focus.

Audience.
Your targeted audience is most important, but from an SEO perspective, that will be determined via keywords.
Once you've figured out EXACTLY what you want to say to your audience, then focus on quality content.
Backlinking comes on the tail end.
Don't rule out paid advertising, either, like Facebook ads.

I think of keywords, backlinks, content and SEO as I would a 3-legged stool. If SEO is the seat, then keywords, backlinks and content are the legs that support it. Remove any one leg and the stool will collapse.
However I wouldn't say that the legs are "equally" important, because they each have completely different characteristics and functions. It would be like trying to compare apples, oranges and grapefruits.
But I would certainly tip the scales in favor of content as the element with the most influence because the buck stops there... so to speak.

Content and backlinks are SEO'ing. Anything that can be done to help get organic free traffic is important and great.

I think its a little bit of all the above and some. Especially if your marketing a specific website that you use for blogging or as an affiliate website/link. You may want to look into some free software that helps you generate great keywords. There are many free sites out there for marketers trying to get an online presense. Just do a Google/Bing search. Wordpress is also a good platform that has specifc themes for SEO optimization

Exactly - Google is now penalizing overly optimized sites, so be careful with "keyword stuffing" and use variations of your keywords, along with LSI. Write great content that's useful and informative (and original), a natural linking process and you'll experience success for the long term.

You need all 3 like oxygen, water and food. Your site will literally die without those essential elements in place. High PR backlinks generate free organic traffic for the life of the link. And what is organic traffic? It's real people searching for your product or service in real-time. Keywords are the GPS system which navigates online surfers to your domain.
But content is the most important of them all. Not having decent content is like having a gas station with no gas in stock. Once the customers arrive they'll quickly become disappointed, and probably won't return.

With Google's changes, I think content is becoming more important than ever before. Too many keywords can get you a penalty these days. Too many unnatural looking links, ditto.
But content - content that visitors love and are seeking is the Goldilocks-just-right spot to focus on. It's safe to focus on it, because if it's original and high-quality you can get some awesome natural backlinks and word of mouse (like Facebook sharing, etc.), which will lead to Search Engine happiness!
So I am of the opinion that content is superior.

You sound like you just wanna narrow your seo work to one thing. lol! there's no such thing. they are all equally important - better start using the seo software that takes care of all those aspects. seo powersuite for example has 4 tools combined together to take care of all your seo issues, this is the soft I've been using since last year, so can only recommend this one. but I'm sure there are alternatives too, not sure which of those are good though

I am under the impression that as far as getting ranked in Google goes, content rules. I have also heard about some "content spinning" type programs out there that will help you with article marketing submissions. These programs basically allow you to re-word your article content in a unique fashion many times over, so one article is re-written many times, each being different so you are able to submit them everywhere without getting flagged for duplicate content.
I myself have not yet tried any such software.. this is just something I have been looking into. Hope that helps you get some of your stuff out there a little easier!
