Checking website data with ahref

Okay this is where i am totally stuck and i cannot get my head around. I am a newbie at this game and really only starting out and have a few questions.

Let's say for example i put www.g oogle.com into ahrefs. It tells me it has 60k backlinks but only has 150-200 referring domains. Can i still outrank this? I watched a video where a guy told us that it does not matter about how many backlinks they have it's all about getting referring domains. This has seriously confused me as i do not understand that. How can i outrank somebody with 60k backlinks in only a few months, this is not possible to me?

Also you can only check links like www. g oogle.com in ahrefs, what if there is links like (FOR EXAMPLE): uk.answers.yahoo.com/blablablabla and things like that, how do i know that i can outrank them when i cannot check on it's data?

Can somebody explain a bit more how this works, how can i estimate who i can and cannot outrank and give me a run down on why i should need more referring domains than backlinks.

Sorry if i am not explaining this very good but i am trying!!

    • Thing is though, if i find a profitability keyword that i want to rank for and i find other sites using that same 'keyword' with x amounts of referring pages then why would i waste time trying to rank or that keyword to get #1 spot on google when it's never going to happen.

      My problem is, i can not look at that data and tell from x amount of referring domains that i can beat it or i cannot.

      This is my problem. If i look at a site and it has 100/200/300 referring domains etc how can i estimate if i can outrank them and how long it would take me if i was to do it.

      This make sense?
