How Much Difference Will One Link Make

We are mostly all telling him the same thing. He simply does not want to hear it. He believes his 1 to 5 backlinks will make him rich. Ignorance is bliss. Let him be happy. j
 
Of course it will make a difference, but your question is too generic.
Trying to rank for SEO or trying to rank for "Hey I'm smart becauce I got a link from BBC and that will make me rank right now!"

If it's the latter, yes you will rank right now ;)

It's not that i believe it, i am asking?
 
Well sir/ma'am its a numbers game. You need at least 100 backlinks to really see a difference. I recommend, if you need traffic now, buy some FB ads.
I understand now, in the long run for link-building and building authority. do you think homepage links or inner-page ones are better?
 
Homepage links are extremely extremely powerful and will make a lot of difference.

Natural link building would usually point to article pages with keywords. As normal users go to your page they will share the articles normally. Both help and I honestly do not know which one is better, but I prefer to get links to my content pages.

Yes you are correct in this, however I have seen just as powerful results by linking my content pages.

this is so niche dependant if you ask me. i've seen quite a difference by placing a handful of good links and in another niche more than a hundred links didn't change much.

Exactly. The OP is in a very high comp niche. So the more backlinks the better.
 
would 5-10 links from sites like bbc.com and forbes.com make a significant difference?

'Yes', 5 - 10 links from quality domains like Forbes will make a good deal of difference to the ranking of a lot of sites, especially for easy to medium difficulty KW's.

If you can get them, go for it.
 
listen to misterF .. it will make a difference alongside a nice mix of other links. I used to have a bbc link .. got taken away when they changed old archived page type years back :(
 
Hi @CityOfHype, I would request you to please use the multi-quote option and avoid pasting the same query again and again.

MOD EDIT: THREAD MOVED to Link Building Section and REMOVED duplicate messages.
 
A do follow link from BBC would be a great link to have.
