  • you need to look at who the competitors are between 1 and 10, see if they're optimized for the keyword, and how many backlinks they have

  • That's like asking "how fast do I have to run to win a race."

    • ha ha, that's a great comparison.
    • As if there is some magic number.

      I don't know why people think that the number of backlinks = #1

      It doesn't.

      Google has to love your site more than the others. Give them
      solid reasons.

      But they owe you nothing. So the question cannot be answered.

  • Suppose they have 100 backlinks, but pagerank is pretty decent 2 to 3.

    • Check quality of backlinks, are they related to the keyword? Do they have EMDs?
  • You are asking how many backlinks you need? Based on what I learned so far it's not just about quantity but also the quality of your links. I bet you can lord over all those in the top 10 if you can somehow find a way to get 10 homepage anchored links to sites that have PR7 and up. And I guess you can do it with even less. Of course this is just for rich or the really resourceful ones.

    Also, don't forget that on-page SEO is still an important factor that helps in ranking. So bottom line is don't just focus on the number of your backlinks. Because Google certainly doesn't.

    • Hi bestrevenueshare,

      One backlink ought to do it.

      Provided that backlink is relevant, from a sufficiently high PR page with few outbound links, and your on-page SEO is well done, and your content is high quality and extremely relevant.

  • It really depends on how good and optimized your content is, the strength of your competition, and the quality of your backlinks.

    Basically, it's impossible to say.
