dont count how many links, just go on with your link building. Its like "karm kiye jaa, fal ki asha mat rakh" means go on with your doings and never expect for return, you will definatly get return for what you had done.
I think you would need thousands of lower PR links (i.e. PR0, PR1). But only a few higher PR link would be needed (higher than PR5). You need to somehow find high PR relevant sites to link from.
The Exactly, only google who knows. but you have link from several quality backlink, you just need few link...maybe...
No one knows except Google. Their algorithm is weird... I saw so many sites with thousands of backlinks with low PR's and sites with less/few backlinks with high PR's.
I have seen it happen with just a single PR5 link and nothing else Only google knows how this is calculated
Exactly. A lot of people think they know a lot of things about linking. There's information that can be gathered by looking at sites that already have great PR. But none of us truly know the specifics. Only Google knows. And they (and Matt Cutts) aren't telling.
well, if you get link from 3 x pr5 (with small of outbound links). Sure you will get pr4 for the next update. sometimes, I found website that only have 1 pr5 link to get pr4 ... and of course, the pr5 is a quality website with very2 small amount of outbound links. the point here is ... focus on quality ... not quantity. BTW, only google knows about it. We only can predict..
And if you'll notice, some sites with similar ranking have quite different results for backlinks. I suspect it's not all a "numbers" game. I think there's a lot to the "link neighborhood" argument and that's why Matt Cutts won't talk about it. When something is completely untrue, Matt Cutts will say so. Matt Cutts: To the best of my knowledge, I do not think we have anything that says social bookmark links are given less weight. Certainly, some sites like del.icio.us and other people, may choose to put individual "nofollows" in and they may choose to take actions to try to prevent spam, but we do not typically say anything like: social bookmarking by itself - give less weight. Stephan Spencer: OK. So, I guess, a follow on to that would be: a .edu and .gov link, and so forth, has, typically, a more pristine link neighborhood, so it is not just about the PageRank, right? The link neighborhood comes into play. Matt Cutts: That is a little bit of a "secret sauce" question, so I am not going to go into how much we do trust that sort of stuff. Interview can be found here We all know what happens to links posted on "link farms" and the like. So it makes sense that the 'link neighborhood' can help or hurt you, doesn't it?
I looked at your link and it brings me to a forum on which there's a table "showing" how many links are needed. There are no links back to Google or any other sorts of evidence given. I suspect this may just be a table that someone made up. Could be someone like me, who's spent a great deal of time looking at websites' backlinks. You can learn a lot from doing this.
