Which of On-Page SEO or Off-Page SEO do you think is more important in helping your blog succeed online. A lot of emphasis has been made on both and i will always agree both works hand in hand like i did on this blog post, but if you were to choose one, which do you think is more important?

As much as on-page SEO is very important i will take off-page SEO as more important because while off-page SEO gets you there, On-page SEO keeps you there. I have seen sites disobey SEO laws and yet rank high in search engines, why? Off-page SEO is the reason. In an article i saw somewhere both on-page and off-page SEO were analysed and the verdict announced. Check it out.

Well, the answer is really both, as you noted. But if you could only have one, it would be on-site, starting with decent and fresh content, and then moving on to standard SEO practices (meta tags, keywords, etc.). But it is really a two part exercise, and you will have difficulty organically growing site traffic without some off-site SEO (as you clearly have recognized). Cheers!
