Google's John Mueller has been telling some SEOs over the past day or so that they are focusing too much on links. He said it twice within a few hours of each other to different SEOs on Twitter.
Here are those tweets:
You focus too much on backlinks :)

You focus too much on links, imo -- I'm glad that we use 100s of factors in our crawling, indexing, and ranking algorithms.

Do you think Google wants SEOs to focus on maybe content over links?
