		<description>Answer to Jason

No, there is &lt;strong&gt;no way to see how many backlinks exactly you should build to get Google page 1&lt;/strong&gt;.

Big G is deliberately is hiding this info from you.

I am explaining this issue in more details on this blog:

		<description>I have just found your service and am very impressed.  

Is there a way to check the actual number of backlinks on page 1 sites?</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Answer to Tom Mc Carrick&lt;/strong&gt;

By putting a space between colon and quotation marks you simply &quot;ruin&quot; the way this search operator works.

Instead of showing you how many pages have the keywords in the anchor text of backlinks it shows you another number (by the way, no one knows what exactly it shows, most likely who have a space and the keyword in anchor of backlinks).</description>

		<description>Thanks for the info.
One thing I noticed is: If I do a search for inanchor: &quot;home based business&quot;, I get only 1,340 matches. But if I search for inanchor:&quot;home based business&quot; it returns over 9 million.
    What does the extra space after the colon do?

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Answer to tommy&lt;/strong&gt;

When it comes down to measuring link building competition - only inanchor matters.

intitle means &quot;show me all pages with this keywords in title&quot; BUT these pages might have no incoming links with the keyword (you plan to fight for) in anchor text, that is why they are not your direct link building competitors.

inurl means &quot;show me all pages with this keywords in URL&quot; BUT, once again, these pages might have no incoming links with your keyword in anchor text.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Answer to Harriet&lt;/strong&gt;

Well, that&#039;s a great question, but to answer it I need to start from some secrets.

You see, inanchor is the only tool Google allows us to have. But it is not enough to see the REAL and EXACT number of link building competition.

inanchor shows only &lt;strong&gt;how many pages&lt;/strong&gt; have incoming links with this anchor text. But i&lt;strong&gt;t does not show you HOW many backlinks each of these web pages has&lt;/strong&gt;.

For example, you can see with inanchor - 1,000 web pages that have incoming links with the same anchor text. But maybe the top page has only 50 backlinks - you thought it was not easy, built some backlinks and got there very quickly.

Now, the bad example. inanchor shows just 50 for your keyword. But in reality the top 10 webpages (out of these 50 pages) have 1,000 backlinks (with this anchor text) EACH. So, you are building 100 links, then 200, then 500 - no results! WTF?! Because to get page 1 you need to overcome the top 10 pages number of backlinks, and they have 1000, and you cannot see it.

As you can see, inanchor is just the tool that helps us to understand how many competitors you have. But how powerful are they? Google hides that (now you understand why).

But, as inanchor is the only search operator that Google allows to use for measuring link building competition - we have nothing else to do but use it.

So, this long answer was about preparing you to the following...

&lt;strong&gt;Do not be too encouraged by low inanchor and too discouraged by big inanchor&lt;/strong&gt;. Though there is a strong connection between big inanchor and toughness of the each of your competitors, this connection sometimes turns out to be a &quot;fake&quot;

P.S. I can tell you the following: if you are serious and ready for a long fight, you can win inanchor even over 1,000,000. Check this site for &#039;free traffic&#039; or &#039;web traffic&#039; in Google (we are page 1 today), then check inanchor and... get down to work :)</description>
