How come a site which has 5000 backlinks in Yahoo Site Explorer beats a site with 10,000+ Backlinks for the same search term in google ?
Answer:
A lot of people assume that Google counts backlinks as a vote towards a certain website. So a website with 10k backlinks will outrank a website with 5k backlinks. Google actually bases there search results on a bunch of different factors including relevance of the website to the search term. The content is a big factor of a websites web ranking, generally a website that is ranked higher for a certain term has better quality (or quantity) content. If its you website that has 10k backlinks that is getting out ranked by a website with only 5k backlinks I would focus on improving the content of your website.
I would also take a look at the quality of the other websites backlinks, the quality of the links is a big factor. The site may have 10k backlinks coming from forum spam, that website will not rank higher then a website that has 5k backlinks from relevant blogs.
Of the linking/commenting/answers services you offer, which do you feel is the most important for SEO and which do you feel has the ability to drive the most organic traffic? I assume it depends on the type of site being promoted, but I wanted to hear your thoughts. Assuming you use these services for your sites, which have had the biggest impact on your business, ecommerce, fansite, etc…?
Answer:
I use the dofollow social bookmarking a lot. All of my SEO sites are on a monthly plan that has a varsity of social bookmarks, comments, article submissions, and directory’s. But I feel that the social bookmarking backlinks help the most with my websites.
Blog comments are my second favorite because they gain backlinks on blog posts that are related to the niche of my website.

Thanks for answering my question, it is much appreciated!
Do i get 10 free article submissions?
Your answers are very accurate.
Thanks, I found the 10k / 5k answer quite interesting!
Hmmm, not sure I 100% agree with the answer you gave for 10k/5k question.
I often find that sites with a lower number of links outrank those with a higher number. Even when content is similar.
Usually when I do a backlink analysis with something like SEO SpyGlass I find that the site ranking higher has a larger number of links with the exact keyword in them.
So you would say that a site with more backlinks which have the exact keyword in them will rank higher?
Jon, surely Google wouldn’t allow you to sell backlink building products through their checkout system considering this is completely against their TOS for ranking in the SERPS?
Hey! I have a question about managing finances for websites. How do you handle your finances? I know your main developer hut business is a little different than the advertising based sites im creating, but I know you’ve done a lot of seo sites in the past.
Ive been reading around recently to find a good process for keeping track of everything and asking other webmasters and such, but how do you do it?
