How many backlinks do you need?

As many quality backlinks as it takes to beat the competition.

It's not so much the number of backlinks but the quality of them, a backlink from a site with a large PR will do a lot more for your SERPs than many backlinks from sites with PR 0 or undefined

Links are necessary you never have enough links. Get as many as you can and keep getting links, the more the better. There are services that will do everything for you like submitting to directories sites, 700 sites for about $60.00 within a period of 14 days.

Dburk is totally on the money. You'll go mad trying to create all your own backlinks. Make the content speak for itself, and everyone will link to it. Use 'google keywords' to work out what kinds of questions people are asking around your topic, then write a page on it. Link to that page on a few sites, be there no follow or do follow, and people will start to come to your page naturally, and link to it naturally.

I recently got tired of manually submitting my blog to online directories so I used this website here: http://www.submit-a-site.com. For just $12, they submit your website to over a thousand online search engines and directories.

After that, I continued to submit my site to blog directories to get more backlinks. The thing is, it is tedious and time-consuming. There are hundreds of blog directories that I've found, and I've only submitted to about 20 or so. How necessary is this? Should I continue to submit my site to these directories, or is 1,000 enough? I've got statcounter and I'm seeing where my website is coming up in certain search terms. But I'm still not getting much traffic, only 4 hits a day or so.

I'm also doing article marketing, that hasn't been a big hit yet.

Thanks,
Christine

Though you used to create more backlinks for your site but what if those backlinks not show any kind of results for your site. So i would advised you to be more focused on getting quality backlinks instead of more backlinks. If you create 1000 backlinks per day and not show the results and if you get 100 quality links so that will provide you the results. so always concentrate more on getting unique and relevant and quality backlinks for your site.

hey,
You need to build more and more high quality backlinks until your site achieves high rankings in the search engine.

[aireland]

You really think content generates traffic?

[Backlinks Guru]

I'd rather concentrate on quality than quantity as I don't want to put my link building campaign in vain.

Valuable article, thank you

[Beno27]

In my limited experience...a LOT. but I guess its a good thing, like anything I think you hit a tipping point and the backlinks will start to come naturally.
