      I agree with this, mikest4u! Although you could pump backlinks out like crazy and rank for a while but you always want quality over quantity. Get good, fresh content out there for yourself!

    It depends upon the competition of Industry. If you dealing the low competitor industry then, you can rank but high competitors industry you need good, quality and perfect on page optimize website to rank better then others.

    Depends. If you don't care about any potential long term issues, hammering a site with links can shoot it near the top pretty fast.

    However, you really need to spend time learning what it takes to rank. The biggest is being able to research your competition and make sure it's even worth your time to try.
