Often, website owners want to know how long it takes a new website to start ranking well in Google, and exactly how many backlinks they’ll need to achieve those results.
Just look at some examples to know more how many backlinks are enough for keywords to be on the first page of Google.
#1 Example (the name of site is hidden)
| Keyword | Position | Traffic (desc) | LRDs | Links to Page |
| gaming desk | 5 | 3,083 | 14 | 29 |
| best walking shoes | 1 | 2,239 | 23 | 47 |
| best fidget spinner | 5 | 1,078 | 49 | 66 |
| best walking shoes for men | 3 | 996 | 23 | 47 |
| leather sewing machine | 3 | 857 | 18 | 24 |
| high quality fidget spinner | 1 | 815 | 49 | 66 |
| gaming desks | 6 | 798 | 14 | 29 |
| best walking shoes | 6 | 780 | 23 | 47 |
| gaming computer desk | 9 | 598 | 14 | 29 |
| dslr stabilizer | 1 | 491 | 33 | 55 |
There are no super hard terms on this list. They’ve simple targeted a lot of keywords.
For your site, you might just be targeting a few main keywords, so you may not have to do much link building to see results.
For the keyword “gaming desk,” there’s only 14 LRDs to the page. Of those, only 4 of the resulting links have URL ratings above 10.
#2 Example with Batsfinder.com
Take a look at the top keywords the site is ranking for:
| Keyword | Position | Traffic (desc) | LRDs | Links to Page |
| pitching machine | 3 | 482 | 6 | 36 |
| baseball bats review | 1 | 174 | 153 | 761 |
| baseballbat reviews | 1 | 174 | 153 | 761 |
| softball bat reviews | 1 | 162 | 40 | 215 |
| best softball bats | 1 | 161 | 40 | 215 |
| baseball bat reviews | 1 | 156 | 153 | 761 |
| youth baseball bats | 6 | 150 | 17 | 77 |
| baseball bat review | 1 | 149 | 153 | 761 |
| best youth baseball bats | 3 | 134 | 17 | 77 |
| bats review | 1 | 110 | 153 | 761 |
Only a few pages on the site rank for these terms (that’s why the page stats are the same).
Other than the homepage, with 153 LRDs, no other page that ranks for a top term has more than 40 LRDs.
Ranking #3 for “pitching machine” only took 6 LRDs, and none are particularly great. The highest URL rating for that page is just 14.
Once you get enough links to other pages (like the homepage here), it gets easier and easier to rank for other keywords by leveraging your domain authority.
There’s no “perfect” type of link, and no single link building strategy that is better than the rest.
The more important thing to focus on is the authority and relevance of your links. That’s why I focused so much on those factors above.
But it is interesting and can be useful to examine the types of links different sites use.
Link types of Site #1
Many of their links were contextual links within blog posts. These are high quality links that were probably obtained through outreach and guest posting.
The rest of the links consisted of a scattering of:
- Links from testimonials they gave (e.g. to a WordPress theme)
- Social media posts
- Blog comments
Nothing too special, the kind of links that everyone has been building for many years.
Link types of Batsfinder.com
The link profile for this site was very balanced, there wasn’t really a single type that dominated the results.
Overall, I saw 5 particular types that were more frequent than the rest:
- Links in guest posts
- Scholarship links (yes, they still work!)
- Contextual links from other baseball niche sites and resource pages
- Standard social media and web 2.0 sites
- Forum posts
It’s not going to happen overnight, but if you’re consistent and patient with your link building, your traffic can grow to a significant level even within a year or so.
