I always prefer quality over quantity when building links. One strong, relevant backlink can make a big difference. Contextual links from niche related sites carry more value.
Dozens of random, low quality links usually will not compare. Relevance and trust should always come first.

i totally agree with that. in the current scenario, relevance and the total quality of the website are way more important than just the number of backlinks. a few backlinks from good nd rellevant websites are more useful than several hundred links. however, quantity is not something to be overlooked altogether after getting quality.

quality is more important than just having lot of links. a relevant link from real site can bring more value than dozens random low quality links.

Thanks for the AI slop
i believe it is not the quantity of links but the fact that they actually should be there. a few relevant links from legitimate websites will prove to be more valuable than many irrelevant links. it would be better to concenttrate efforts on getting the right links rather than reaching a certain amount of links.

That’s exactly right. Link value depends on factors such as relevance, context, authority, and editorial placement. One high-quality and relevant link can provide a website with more authority than hundreds of low quality links.
