Why that real estate site with 50 backlinks beats your site with 1000 backlinks.

I love doing research, and I realize some of the articles that I've referenced in recent days (weeks) have no relevance to my particular real estate area, however, I think they would be of great use to those realtors who might be reading these blogs.  Anyway, I was doing a little reading on link building and found a few articles I consider 'gems.'  Here is a quote from one of them regarding inbound links:

"See, a problem with going for volume (regarding inbound links) is that you can’t stop…you and your competitors might be running in a dogs race always trying to get one more link than the other guys….you buy ‘em in volumes…you trade ‘em in volumes, you 3 way ‘em, you site-wide ‘em….you do what ever you can to get your total backlinks up, up, and away….problem with that is, is that you often get links from non-trusted sites (artificial backlink sites), you get them on "links" pages (tossing a sign on your site saying "Google, kick me, I’m an SEO trying to artificially inflate my backlinks), you get them for 200 directories (another Google kick me, I’m an SEO sign), and the more you get, the more you fall, and the more you fall, the more you cry "I must need more, more, more", and the further you slip…..it’s really a bad SEO trap that’s been laid out for you."  To read the entire article by Jim Boykin, click here.
