How many links is enough?

You can never get enough good links back to your web page. To give you an idea from a recent study by Axandra.com some of the following important quality (based upon Google PageRank) web sites had massive link popularity

Rank in survey which was ranked by Google PageRank not number of links URL/site Google PageRank Backlinks

1 yahoo.com 10 654,000

2 Adobe reader download site 10 646,000

13 Apple.com 10 76,500

123 Sony.com 9 10,900

136 Google Germany 9 5,660

148 Google Italy 9 2.760

Within your own site you should create an internal link structure which satisfies your visitor from a navigation viewpoint and also your own attempts to get high search engine rankings.

In a survey done by Axandra.com (suppliers of Arelis link popularity software) it was found that from a very large number of top 10 SERPs on Google that 23.38% of the number 1 web pages used the queried keyword in the anchor text link. This fits in with what we discussed above.
