I was just checking the backlinks of some key words of my competitors for the first time at backlinkwatch and see where they have at least 1000. I am new and only have one at this time. I do not mind working to get backlinks, I just want to know if I must have as many to get ranked high. Thanks in advance for any help.

What do you consider high?

I have only 100 backlinks and I have a PR3 site. While backlinks are very important, it doesn't mean the more the better. Someone could have 100 PR1 backlinks and then some other guy could have one PR10 backlink and the guy with the one PR10 backlink would probably have a higher PR.

gray929,

I want to be at least on the first page, top 10. Where can I study about backlinks. I need to learn everything from Pr ratings to where to locate the best pr sites. Thanks for the help...

HEY! That's awesome - how can you look at a competitor to see how many backranks they have? Is it a program?

I don't think SERP's have much to do with backlinks, at least from my experience. I think it has to do more with word relevancy.

Somewhere between 1 and 1,000,000.

And forget the useless toolbar PR display it means NOTHING about the value of the actual link.

Freelansir, put the url of any website in at backlinkwatch.com and you will see their back links...

gray929, Thanks for the advice and the link, I appreciate the help...

Chrishirst, How do you personally target your back links. What criteria do you or anyone else use? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it...

Link out to pages that are useful or may be interesting to the site visitors and get links from pages/sites that should send interested/qualified visitors.
