Amount of backlinks (while quantity does help) are just one of the things that goes into page rank. You also have to consider: PageRank of sites you have backlinks on Relevancy of sites Relevancy of pages Relevancy of keywords How spread out are your backlinks? (having 683 backlinks from 1 domain isn't going to do you much good) Anchor text (though not as much of a factor since the Google Bombs) Duplicate content How many other sites does that page link out to? the list keeps going....
Google itself shows only... (through link:http://www.google.com/) Results 1 - 10 of about 134,000 linking to http://www.google.com/. Still a few more then my sites (combined, lol)
