It’s no secret that link building campaigns are critical to ranking organically. If you want better search engine rankings, you need more backlinks. Links give context and power to pages that Google considers authoritative. Google will almost certainly see a page with 100,000 links as more authoritative than one with 1,000 links. (Unless all those links suck.).
