How many backlinks?

[masterweb]

I know that more backlinks a site have then a better rank (Google PR i mean) the site could reach, one way links are better than reciprocal, related sites linking to you is better than a wide unrelated clould of links, and so on...

I also know that is possible to "buy" or rent backlinks from well stablished sites but the point is: how many backlinks i must to buy in order to gain same rank as this site?. An example: if my site is page rank 3 and i rent a backlink from another site with page rank 5 then my site jumps to pr 5?, or i need to rent 2,3.4.5.... backlinks from other pr 5 sites too in order to get my site with same pr?...

In my opinion PR is very misunderstood in terms of what benefits it can offer. Higher PR site generally seem to rank better in serps for their long tail URL's and of course you also have the option of offering text links at higher prices ( which can be risky )

To answer your question though its more about qaulity than the actual PR its self , for example if you get a PR7 backlink that has 50 external links then the "PR Juice" that you get will be very small, but if you get a PR7 that has some authority and good backlinks that has less than 5 backlinks then its likely you will get at least a PR5 and possibly a PR6 in return.

There is a small graph that estimates the amount of back links for a certain PR below but as i said its all about the quality of the PR and the amount of external links etc.

Really thanks for your deep reply river, so if i understood well i should rent a pr5 or higher from a site with no more than 5 outgoing links in order to jump to a pr 5 myself?.

I would say unless you got a really good qaulity and related link you are most likely going to need 4 or 5 PR5's before your site becomes a PR5.

Google is a funny and fickle machine and is very unpredictable , remember if you are buying/renting links you have to be very careful who you are buying from , if google realises that the site you brought the link from is selling they could penalise your site for buying links, its classes as SERP's Manipulation in googles eyes

Thanks again River now a last question: according to you what's the decent price for renting or buying these 5 backlinks?.-

Hmm its a hard question to answer because people have different budgets and different expectations.

personally when i sold a PR5 before i charge around $120 for a 6 month period, Which works out around $20 a month and ive also sold some at $220 per 6 months. But thats because i dont want low qaulity sites being listed on mine.

You can pick up PR5 links for as little as $5 - $10 a month but i personally would never buy a cheap link, as i said above you have to be careful who you buy links from.

I also believe there are people on DP that are out to catch link sellers and buyers and report them to Google.

Ive had one experience where one of my sites when from being on the first page of google for loads of good keywords and then after i brought some links from an untrusted source my site went to page 12 for everything, in the end i had to sell use another domain for that site because it never came back to the first page. Could have been a coincidence but i beg to differ.

My site has been indexed in Yahoo, alltheweb, as well as webcrawler. But still my site has not been indexed by Google Spiders. I wonder, what on this Earth I can do to make a presence in Google !
