Backlinks are important for building authority. But, as I mentioned in the video, it all starts with a properly designed website. If your website is about the breeding habits of mosquitoes, you can try as much as you want to get ranked for "iPod accessories" on Google and it won't happen -- "Google bombs" no longer work... at least not for Google. Yahoo! still gets fooled by them though, which may be a contributing factor to their severe decline in search volume. Backlinks are also a large part of the PageRank algorithm, but there is definitely more to it than that. I've seen webpages hit PR3 with very few backlinks, and I've seen sites with tons of backlinks end up at PR0. My <a href="http://www.dropshippingblog.com/drop-shipping/11/drop-shipping-for-dummies/" rel="nofollow">Drop Shipping For Dummies Post</a> is a good example of this. It is PR2 and only has one external backlink from an unranked webpage. I also have a few webpages of my own that are PR2 that have zero external backlinks, while a PR3 webpage has over a thousand external backlinks. Of course, the type of backlinks also plays a large role... but again, that's another blog post for another day. Great point Kao, and I mostly agree with you.

I sure like to see Google ban it's own domain because people are all pointing to it with the keyword "google". What else can you name Google? Google is google so we point back with the anchor text google. This applies to your own website. Just take a look at www.google.com, there isn't anything there and it's PR 10. Awesome, right. Almost a blank page and yet it's PR 10. Yes, it's the backlinks. It’s great information but we all know it’s all about backlinks.
