    Hi guys,

    Maybe this is the first dumb question ever ask in DP. But I really need to ask your opinion on link building a site.

    What do you prefer? quality (guest blogging, blog commenting, forum all in related work) or quantity (xrumer blast, forum profile, whatever kind of linkbuilding from what ever sites one can get)

    What do you think works best?

    Thanks

    Quality will always beat quantity in the long run. The better you build your site, the more people will naturally come and link to the content.

    Quality is the most important, especially when you're trying to (in Google's eyes) "game the system". Quantity is important, too, however. But make it count. If you're spammy in your approach, your efforts aren't going to last very long. What may work today will likely be nullified by the ever watchful eye of Google tomorrow.

    A good quality content is the winner. My experience, quantity is waste your time

    everyone must say quality!
    but if you targeting a lot of keyword and ignore visitor loyality, you can vote for quantity

    Both are i am preferring....See if you just build a single link from PR 6 then it is not ok.
    I am saying build 10 link with PR 3 it is best for your site.

    It would be best to focus your efforts on targeting the right market so I'd have to say quality over quantity.

    I prefer whatever it takes me to beat the competition. Quality links do a great job almost all the time, but sometimes I need to rely on quantity as well.

    I agree on the earlier post. Combine both quality and quantity. It's the search Engine Result that will matter.

    The rank which comes through quality, stays long. You will see changes slowly but it will be very effective. Quantity can give sudden improvement, but it will go down very soon.

    Quality is more important than quantity....1 quality backlink is good than 10 unrelated backlink
