    Well, Dude! nice question, I had faced once before.
    1 PR 4 back links is not = 100 PR0 back links. So see how your 20 back links...

    Google ranking is based on over 200 signals. The number of links is just one of them. In any case if you had 1 high quality, super relavent PR10 link you could rank higher than a website with 100,000 dodgey links. It is much more complicated than just number of links.

    5 and 6 links is a ver, very low number. I would guess your site is new and you are ranking against a low volume Keyterm. Keep building links and you will improve

    Back links are important but your actual ranking would depend on a lot more factors like page structure, content, website size etc. etc. etc.

      First of all, Google never really shows you all of your backlinks. He might have 300, but they are only showing 6.

      Second, the quality of the backlinks is also important. If yours are all PR 0 and PR n/a sites, while his are PR 2's and 3's, he will be ahead of you for a long time.

    Backlinking really work but you also need a high pr site. It's never just one thing that makes you successful. Remember you need to optimize and make your page relevant to users also.
