The more links you have...

    Hello,

    I was just wondering... The more links you have, is it easier for your site to get higher up on the search engines for new keywords as you have more links?

    Or, is each new keyword like starting all over again with 0 links?

    Yes, the link juice from your incoming links can be passed around to other pages.

    Existing link profile will of course contribute towards keywords other than just the anchor text.

    given that your site is properly optimized, more backlinks yo uhave, higher you rank. and the backlinks will have to be using anchor text/keyword so if you want to get ranked for a new keyword, then you need to build link with that specific anchor text. if your site is already ranked for other terms, then existing backlinks will give you some advantage specially if your new term is included on your old search terms. for example: if you rank well for "silver honda accord" and now targetting "blue honda accord" or "honda accord parts" then it is easier because part of your new term is already included in the old term that you already rank for

    I agree with the comments above. A domain has an overall link popularity. As you build that up, it becomes easier to get new rankings. As sultanofseo pointed out, it is even easier to target those new keyword phrases if there are overlapping words.

    It is important to remember that it is still more about link quality than quantity. Links from quality, trusted websites will count for much more than many low quality links.

    Hi Sarabi. You're right - all the links into your site will have a cumulative effect so if you add new keywords you should have a head start. However - do consider that your site needs to keep to some sort of overall theme - so don't go adding anything to random and expect to rank ;)

    What are you trying to say? LINK JUICE?

    The more links you have (quality Links) the more easier in KEYSERP. You are subject to have a higher PR plus Link Bait.

    OK, here is an example:

    Let say you build links for the keyword order medications online then you gain 1000 backlinks for it. Then, you build links for the keyword cheap medications online (for the same domain), the 1000 backlinks you already gather will be also be count as backlinks.

    Agreed with your guys, The more back links the more your ranks, best ways to build backlinks are to submit in directories and do some link exchange (free)

    Backlinks is just one factor that helps determine where your site ranks in the results pages. The last I heard there were around 200 factors that google uses to rank a site. So once you have a few backlinks, you only have 199 more things to take care of.

    Backlinks are important, but that should not be the "only" thing you focus on.

    Keyword anchored backlinks are probably the most important thing we are dealing with..
