There are certain techniques you can use to increase your overall link speed, such as building links related to trust signals and dividing link building activities across multiple pages of the website while optimizing internal linking. However, it’s a good way to explain why OBL is a really important metric and link dampening should be taken seriously when it comes to optimizing the juice of your backlinks. Now when I place a link with the exact anchor text from another page (like the blog post you’re reading), Google is still using the overall age of a domain as a signal of how much authority a link can pass on — that’s why brand-new subdomain Web 2.0s barely give off juice these days without being ramped up and aged over months.
What is a good number of backlinks?
This really is dependant of the age of your website and how competitive the market you are in. As a bare minimum a website should have 40 to 50 backlinks to the homepage and 0 to 100 backlinks to each individual webpage to be reasonably competitive for SEO. Really you need to run some competitor audits to compare the sites who are currently ranking for the search terms you want to target. However, don’t start your first day of link building by creating a hundred from the start, as they could hurt your site if they’re bad links.
How many backlinks per month are good?
To ensure that your search engine optimization isn’t negatively affected by backlinks, it’s important to only create high-quality, relevant backlinks that follow SEO best practices. Creating a Powerpage with content that’s better than the other top 10 competitors can help you overcome the lack of backlinks. For example, if you created 500 links in the first month to a brand-new site or to an existing site with a small number of links, you may very well find that your website rankings are temporarily falling. The time that elapses from the first discovery of a backlink to the final ranking shift for a target keyword cannot be speeded up by the website owner.
