Number? Is That What You're Thinking About? No, You're Totally Wrong. Check This Out.

The numbers game died a few years ago. There’s another line of thinking out there that you might not know about.

It’s not always "He with the most links" who wins the game……often, "He with the right links" can win the game as well. Really, very often, he with the right 10 links can beat the guy with 1000 of the wrong links - I see it all the time.

I’m sure most of us have looked at search results, and followed it up by checking the backlinks of the top 10 sites….and then scratched our heads and said "Hum….why is that site in the top 10? It only has X amount of links….hum…doesn’t make sense."….I know I used to do that a lot. Upon closer inspection I’ll usually find that the sites with fewer backlinks that rank on the first page of search results have links that are more relevant, or more trusted, or seem to come from the "right places" (trusted industry related sites).

Sure, there’s different ways to play the game of SEO, such as :

Go for volume of links, or Go for Trusted links. But few go on the angle of "Get The Right Links" and you might not need as many links as you thought you did.

See, a problem with going for volume is that you can’t stop…you and your competitors might be running in a dogs race always trying to get one more link than the other guys. Problem with that is, is that you often get links from non-trusted sites (artificial backlink sites), you get them on "links" pages (tossing a sign on your site saying "Google, kick me, I’m an SEO trying to artificially inflate my backlinks), you get them for 200 directories (another Google kick me, I’m an SEO sign), and the more you get, the more you fall, and the more you fall, the more you cry "I must need more, more, more", and the further you slip…..it’s really a bad SEO trap that’s been laid out for you.

Now, getting trusted backlinks is a better way. By finding sites that have "Real backlinks" (not SEO’d sites) and getting your links on real pages is really cool, and always winning by trust can be done until the engines start to say "Here’s The Neighborhood, but You’re Not In It" and Yeah, You’re Trusted Too. Just not by your peers, and your rankings slip again.

Getting a few of the right links, from the right places can be more valuable than getting 100 links from the wrong places.
