I know building backlinks is an ongoing task that's never ending, but I have always found it interesting to see how many backlinks someone has at the current moment for one or more of their sites. So, how many backlinks do you have at this current time? And how old is your site or sites?
I just started my website so i have very few, but here's something interesting: one guy got 200 000 pr0 backlinks and he's ranked number one for a very popular keyword! i don't know how he did it, but i know it's blogger based website.
2 years 20000+ backlinks. some sitewild links now....i thinks it's not cart about numbers. related links are counted !
I just started my own .co blog and have been link building like a mad man i have about 2,000 so far - and I need to get MORE! I am already seeing my blog show up on the first page of google with certain keywords - trust me - it helps - its hard work but it does pay off
