What is considered as more significant, creating content or building backlinks?

First is creating content because with the help of interesting or informative content you can get quality backlinks.

Content is key to website pages as it enables Google to undertand what the subject matter of the pages is. Backlinks then enable you boost your SEO performance

depend on your website , I can guide you better if you tell me about your website ??

Both are necessary, creating quality content is equally important to building backlinks. Although, building backlinks are useful in building authority to a site and for ranking as well, quality content is the first element that is considered to be more responsible for ranking.

The thing is content is the king but without backlinks your site will not get ranking. And without ranking no one gonna view your site and if no one gonna view your site then who gonna read your content? So what will you do with that gr8 content.

Pardon me if my words heart you but this real.......
So you need both gr8 content along with gr8 no. of backlinks.

I would place Content over Backlinks on any day.
Take for example you are an event manager. Your way of getting clients is via referral from other people whom we can term as people whom you requested to promote your company. Now, you work for the client & the event ends up disastrous. This doesn't puts up a good impression at all.
Similarly, backlinks are mode which create referrals to your website/page. People may well enter the link but you may end up losing the potential consumer if the content is poor.
Additionally, your website would also rank better in search engines if there's a good content.
