Some months ago I decided to split some of my blog content that was intended for a business audience (DJs) that is part of my industry, but the site's primary function is not targeting that business audience but my paying clients (wedding couples). I was easily seeing a 10:1 ratio of B2B clients to B2C clients, and most of my top keyword ranks were for that B2B segment.
But one thing that I found is that my authority seems to have slipped some and I lost about 28% of my backlinks to this site. While I didn't fall on my face, I am definitely a couple clicks lower than I was, now delegated to "page 2" where before I would encroach on "page 1".
So the question. Are backlinks more important than the primary cohort that actually hits the site? Is pure traffic more important than targeted traffic?
