Why doesn't it work on its own anymore?

Dino Tact #4: Boosting Rankings with Link Building Alone
Fourth, driving rankings on link building alone. Again, I see a lot of people doing this, where they're ranking number 5, number 10, number 20, and they think, "Okay, I'm ranking in the first two pages of Google. My next step is to link build my way to the top."
Granted, historically, in the dinosaur age, in the dinosaur age of 2011, it worked perfectly. It was the “way” to get to the top. Once you were in the consideration set, the links would mostly take you to the top. But that’s not the case today.
Replace it with search engine optimization, UX taiwan number data , content upgrades, and brand development.
Instead I'm going to suggest you retire it and replace it with search engine optimization, which we've seen a lot of people invest in optimization out there and see their site springboarding, even with worse links, not as much DA, all that kind of stuff. UX optimization, reducing user experience and fixing the format of the content so that it serves searchers better.
Upgrading content, improving the original content on the page, and brand development, further associating your brand with the topic or keyword. Why is this happening? Well, because links alone feel like they just aren’t enough today. They’re still a powerful ranking factor. We can’t ignore them completely.
