How many Backlinks is Good

1 backlink is better than none…

Case study

Since the beginning of this month I made 2 websites:

There are 2 differences with this website:

Results:

americas next top model winners is in Google! VS americas next top model winner is NOT in Google
americas next top model winners had 29 visitors VS americas next top model winner had only 4 visitors

What do we learn from this case study?

To boost your visitors it always helps when other sites are linking to you: people can follow the link and reach your site
when people can find your website without Google, quality becomes an issue: describing very well which great content you give on your site related to the content your link is placed, will bring you more visitors
singular and plural is an important difference: 4 people typed in the singular americas next top model winner, 13 people typed in the plural americas next top model winners
from the 29 visitors of americas next top model winners:

3 visitors got there through the search engines. That’s why you need to have other sites linking to you, so you could rank higher in the search engines.
12 visitors got there through the link on Linky love (gosh, some of my visitors really know how to find things 🙂 ) and through links on other websites that have been syndicating Linky Love’s posts 🙂 RSS can be a goldmine to and spread your links like wildfire.
