A popular question in webmaster communities today is this: Which is more important – The quality of the links you build or the quantity? Today you will find out.

By now, you have probably read many articles on link development or building links. Some link building methods provide a large quantity of links. Other methods provide quality links.

Quality links  are usually harder and take longer to build. However, they are more powerful.

Quantity links are usually easier and take a shorter period of time to build. However, they are less powerful.

Quality links win. You can have 1000 worthless links and 1 quality link overpowers them all. This means when building links, use methods that provide quality links. If you have sacrifice quality for quantity to build links, you should start using methods of building quality links like article marketing and guest posting.

I hope this article has helped reshape your link building strategy.

    I agree that a few high quality links are more powerful and valuable than a plethora of low quality links. A friend and I are currently competing in an online marketing competition. Our website has only 40 or so inlinks but about 10 of them are from high quality and relevant websites (PR from 5-7). One of our competitors has a website with 1,000+ inlinks, but most are PR 0 or 1. We will see this Friday (4/9) if the competition judges agree that quality is more important than quantity!
