Understanding BACKLINKS Quality and Quantity

Let me see if I got this right:

I am focused on obtaining relevant backlinks to my website, which is about impacts of running on your body...

I want to rank my website as high as possible in google's natural listings for a certain keyword, so I go and create backlinks with keyword in the anchor text.

I'm currently only focused on obtaining relevant do-follow backlinks.

I have 2 questions to ask.

1) If in one article, I put 3 do-follow hyperlinks to my website (like I can in sooperarticles) with anchor text of the keywords im trying to rank for, does that mean I just got 3 backlinks from that site?

And one other thing, how many of these do-follow backlinks do you usually make? If your intention is to rank 1st in google's natural listings for that keyword.

2) Can you reccomend what do-follow article directories (or whatever you use to obtain do-follow links) you use?

Thank you so much!

    Yes if you put three hyperlinks of your in one article you will get three links. But many articles are not accepting 3 hyperlinks. So i would suggest you put only two hyperlinks which should be in Author Bio.

    Links are about locations - not sites/pages etc...

    There are several factors you need to consider:

    1 - The more links there are on a page - the less juice they pass on.

    So while yes you get 3 links, they're actually worth less than the 1 link if they're the only links on that page. So if they're focused on different keywords and point to different pages, they'll carry less weight than 1 link to 1 page.

    2 - The PR of the domain is irrelevant - try to make sure the page your link is on has PR.

    3 - You can link to locations within a page aswell as pages and domains, so try to push your reader to the place on the relevant page that is most appropriate for them to get your impactful information.

    4 - Links are not the same as traffic.

    Try to get your links from places that have your traffic.

    Usually this does not mean article directories, but they're a good place to get your content syndicated from and so usually also worth doing.

    Let me help my level best:

    1. Yes, 3 backlinks. But all from same domain. This can go underweight, if you are to compare with individual backlinks from 3 different domains. Do you understand what i mean? You need to spread them.

    2. Eza.

    3 anchor text of your keyword is equivalent to 3 links but with decreased link juice. You are just minimizing the link juice that your site will get. just 1 anchor text is enough.
