"I curently have 156 backlinks and all are natural I pay nothing to them all these backlinks are becuase of the quality of the product offered at the site!" - 155 there's one in your sig
Ohhhhhh..its "win key finder". I was reading "winky finder" LOL Some of your 156 links are from your own site, too, so don't count them all.
There is no answer. Different backlinks have different PR weight and it is impossible to determine. A link from a PR5 site can be better than a PR4, but not if the the PR5 page has 100 outgoing links on it and the PR4 only 2. I have a PR5 site with only 13 off-site backlinks (counted by google) (37 total) and none of them were paid for. The "quality of your product" has nothing to do with PR. It also doesn't matter if you got the backlinks for free or paid for them.
This is an article that I like a lot. http://www.compar.com/infopool/articles/PR-calculation.html Of course the results are not exact because he made some asumptions, but it can give you a glance of what is needed to get each pr.
To me, links are wealth. Most everyone these days run their site with some sort of expectation for profitability. The more links, the better position. The better position, the better traffic. More traffic equals more revenue. Links = Wealth. So I tend to treat them like I treat money. The more, the better!
Once you get ahead of your competition thats when the real hard work start, staying ahead. I did the mistake and give up exchaning links and now my competitors got ahead.
The answer of course is "it depends". It depends on the PR of each page that links to you and a variety of other factors. Webbom already posted the URL for my article on the subject, but being new his link isn't clickable. So for the lazy people here it is again in a clickable form. http://www.compar.com/infopool/articles/PR-calculation.html
Shoemoney "Get a program like seoelite or arelis and see what your competition is doing to get top ranks. Do that +1 " hahaha your right..
i think there is no certain number as this depends on the page rank you are buidling the link on. you can continue building until getting the desired page rank.
