Short answer for : there is no fixed number of backlinks that will “raise PageRank.” The public 0–10 Toolbar PageRank was turned off in April 2016, and Google treats link signals as part of a much larger ranking system rather than a single public score. (searchengineland.com)

Several members here (for example , , ) correctly pushed “quality over quantity.” To make that practical: focus on unique referring domains, topical relevance, natural anchor-text variety, and contextual/editorial placements. Studies and industry data show the number of unique referring domains correlates with organic traffic more than raw backlink counts, so competitor analysis (Search Console + Ahrefs/Semrush/Moz) is a better place to start than chasing an arbitrary target like “50 links.” (ahrefs.com)

A caution for and anyone tempted to buy bulk links: Google flags link schemes and large-scale, link-forward guest-post campaigns as spam and can issue manual actions. If you discover spammy links, try removal first, then use Google’s disavow tool only when necessary. The longer-term, safer strategy is to earn editorial links by publishing useful, people-first content that demonstrates experience/expertise/authority/trust (E‑E‑A‑T). (developers.google.com)

Quick practical checklist

  • Audit: export backlinks from Search Console + a commercial crawler and sort by referring domain, topical relevance, and spam signals.
  • Fix: contact webmasters to remove bad links; disavow only if removal fails.
  • Earn: create linkable assets (original research, useful tools, skilled guest contributions) and promote them to relevant publications.
    Measure progress by referring domains and organic traffic, not a single PageRank number.

Don't concentrate much over the Page Rank as it's already dead ! Better is to work with over the good way which you currently don't think much about the Page Rank and all !

Increasing page rank of website does not depend on any particular number of backlinks.
Although backlinks are necessary from quality sites but What remains important is concentrating on your websites ON-Page and OFF-Page SEO with good content.

It is not good just to focus upon the rank; you must focus upon getting the genuine leads that you could convert in to the business. Increase your efforts for social media.

I think it is not the matter of how many links but quality of backlink.

on average if u have at least 50 backlinks from 50 different domains u will rank high

It's only depends on the keyword competition that how many back links you should do for your website in order to come in the first page of Google. Also you can research your competitors how many back links they have.

I guess you are taking things in towards a different perspective you can't say that if you have a large number of backlinks then you can rank over the first page of Google, rather than there are anumber of other factor that Google looks onto before ranking you over the SERPs! So, following only the link path isn't a good idea at all !

You'll need a lot but they should be of quality. I may advise you to search different websites and explore their high authority pages, in this way, you can generate quality links for your website, otherwise, you can also buy backlinks of high PR from sites like SEoclerks.

It is not about the quantity of link..It's about quality of links..

Member Avatar for riyathomas306

You don’t need thousands or even hundreds of backlink for better ranking because Google has changed its algorithm from quantity, to quantity and quality. But quality is more important now.In fact, you can make it to the first page of Google with just a few backlinks

Member Avatar for hibatahir

there are more then 300 factors to increse the ranking of the website it does not means that just building the backlins increase the ranking

Member Avatar for sandy_5

Page ranking mostly bothers about quality of backlinks rather than quantity of backlinks.

Member Avatar for sfts

The quality of backlinks is not so important rather the quality of backinks is very important. The backinks should be reputable and orgainic.

Member Avatar for Michelle_12

It really depends on the quality of the backlinks that you're getting. If a majority of backlinks are coming from low DA websites with high spam scores, they may potentially have a negative effect. Focus on getting backlinks with websites that have a 20+ DA, low spam score, and that are trustworthy sources.

Member Avatar for Belle_1

Google gas stoped giving page rank to the websites since last four to five years so focus to increase authority of the website such as Page authority and domain authority.

Member Avatar for Henry_23

The quantity is not definite. It depends on the niche, competition and other issues. You can analyze competitors' backlinks. The growth of positions can not be caused only by back links. your site, product and content plays a big role.

Member Avatar for amarnath_2
