what is the effect of maximum backlinks to a website. Is it useful practice to submit site to maximum number of directories or it is better to get only few quality links?
It's better to get quality back links, but few won't be enough to turn things around in the long run. So my advice is this: Get as many quality back links as you possibly can, and also get from other sites you feel have the prospect of growing. Your links in those other sites have a good chance of getting better PR, if the sites in question are well-managed, updated on a regular basis and well-maintained.
I think Max links is 750 if we cross that nothing will happen but some search engines will treat as a over doing of seo. i too dont know clearly i saw in one seo book that's y i told if anyone knows exact tell me
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and many others each have millions of back links pointing to their sites. The only thing to consider is to make sure that the back link is relevant to the content of the web page where it is placed.
I have had, and currently have sites with over 20,000 backlinks. I've had a site with 150,000 backlinks too. That's a small number compared to what some webmasters have had around here. Keep them relevant, permanent if possible and don't spam the same keyword everywhere.
maximum backlinks advantage will shown in pr increment and ranking increment, ofcourse quality will make difference but u need to build back links every now and then
