    Hi, I'm doing SEO, I was wondering how many backlinks were necessary to increase your search engine placement for organic traffic in google?

    I am the founder of a site that sells home products, like vacuums, irons, cookware. I have been noticing my organic keyword traffic increasing slowly, from some say 1-5 hits a day to more like 10-20. Can anyone who has succesfully driven more free traffic to your sites please comment? Were you able to increase traffic using backlinking? By how much?

    Depends on the quality of backlinks, your competition and how high you want to rank.

    It's really not about quantity as much as quality.

    i agree with everyone above i think its more on the competition of kw, Quality of links and how old the site is can play a difference too as well. try blog commenting, or foum commenting with do follow. I'm new as well learning all the time.

    All depends on how you have created the link. If your link is natural, you are in good list of Google.

    don't forget that the cornerstone for any organic traffic isn't just backlinks, it is the content of your website - creative, unique, interesting :)

    It's not necessary the quantity of backlinks your website has, it's the quality of them. You could have twenty thousand PR 1 backlinks and only one PR 8 backlink and the PR 8 backlink would be worth more juice. Another crucial aspect is the relevancy of the backlinks. Make sure all your backlinks are relevant to your website's theme. Another important part is making sure they're do-follow backlinks.

    Thanks a lot guys, yeah, I'll let u guys know how it goes. The design of my site is pretty good. I've had some organic conversions as well as some advertising/paid click conversions, but I don't like the conversion ratios for the paid clicks, which cost me about .37 dollars per click. I get the impression that a lot of these paid clicks are like accidental or for people who aren't serious about doing a conversion on my site. My organic conversion rate is much higher, especially if the keyword is really relevant, like a product name then its really high. Will let u know if I can increase PAGERANK. Its currently at 0/10 but I hear this is only updated once a year so it might take some time to go up.

    when people speak of quality vs quantity....

    does that mean it's better to have 1 niche specific link pr 2/3/4/5 etc higher than 10 links that have nothing to do with your niche?

    Well, it all depends on the quality of those backlinks - which means, links on related websites, blogs, and creating a link wheel to have better links - which will help increase your google traffic.

    The thought behind backlinks is the fact that if your web-site is offering top quality information and facts, then other web-sites will link to yours, thus increasing your recognition and ranking among the search engines, particularly Google, thus boosting your traffic.

    There is much more to building backlinks than just spamming your URL across the internet. Google compares titles and key phrases and content material of internet sites that contain your URL, if they seem irrelevant then Google will give really small consideration to that backlink. On the other hand the a lot more relevant it deems each web site, the stronger the backlink becomes. A different consideration is the popularity of the internet site containing your URL, if the web site is not favorite whatsoever, the backlink will not do much whatsoever. On the other hand the far more preferred it’s, the stronger your backlink is. Relevance and recognition combined type a rather powerful backlink, plus the additional backlinks you get the much more favorite your web site becomes and the higher you show up inside the search results. Backlinks are said to be the prime aspect in how Google determines the placement of your web site, so you should not ignore them.

    Yes Back Links will Increase Google Traffic. More number of Relevant\Niche back links, more page rank. I dont believe in number game. If you have one way back links from Niche directories/sites, Websites Page rank will increase, Good Page Rank, more number of visitors, more click more inquiry . :)
