More Backlinks = Higher Rankings

this is one of the biggest factors associated with earning higher rankings in Google, and this is definitely what I’ve seen to be the case from my experience in running successful SEO campaigns.

The chart quite clearly shows a gradual increase in the number of backlinks that a webpage has as you move higher up page 1 of Google.

One of the traps that I often see people fall into is falling for the “create great content and you’ll rank” line that gets thrown about all too often. Great content isn’t enough.

The long and short of it is: if you don’t have backlinks, you’re not going to rank.

Action:

Go through your existing content and identify pages that are underperforming in organic search. Go through my SEO tips guide and test out some of the link building techniques to acquire more backlinks to those pages.
