    Yeah i agree with sandeepets and if you’re chasing long-tail traffic you have to create content that is relevant for many obscure expressions.

    As much as you can. But remember that quality of these links matters.

    It will be based on what type of links your site is getting. If the links are irrelevant, then, it doesn't matters. Relevant & Quality links always needed to get listed in the search engine result page.

    what do you mean by 'how many link'. how much you have made backlink for your website? and compare it to your competitor backlink.

    Never hurt more links. You just have to take care at spam, and your links should be as varied as possible.

    Google don't think about the quantity dude. he just think and consider the quality of your links. if they are from high Quality sites then you will need a few to get Ranked.

    Depends on your competition and the quality of the links. Someone with 5 High PR backlinks can outrank a site with 100 poor backlinks any day. There is no "set" answer. Your best bet is to look at the top 3 sites in Google for your keyword that you are trying to rank and look at their backlinks. Then repeat what they have done.

    I think there have not any exact number. But, I believe quality of backlinks are more important than quantity. Make backlinks with pages which have high PR, DoFollow and at the same niche. Do not link with link firms and spammed pages. Do not do any black hat and gray hat SEO.

    As much as you can but the link should be quality back link as it should come back from same theme and relevant website. Like your website is providing SEO service then the link from other website providing SEO or Internet marketing services will be good to you.

    If you are getting the same from health related website it will not count as quality link. Avoid it.

    Agree. The number of links required for any given website depends on a multitude of factors. What niche are u in, what keyword, what is the on page SEO like, number of competitors, and so on. Also don't forget the number one ranked page may have thousands of backlinks but what is the anchor text?
