So let me understand.....

In the world of backlinks....for a specific keyword to be number one on google, it is best to have both more total overall backlinks than your competitor and also the most links for the keyword phrase in the anchor text backlinks plus a few quality authority links to be near the top of google ranking for that keyword phrase? Am I correct?

What if you have more backlinks than your competitor (lots more)however he has more of the keyword anchor text backlinks that you are trying to achieve a number one position for? Who wins out then?

I am trying to figure out the linking value. More backlinks overall regardless of the anchor text to rank for a specific keyword phrase or more keyword phrase in the anchor text?

Which will obtain top ranking for that keyword phrase?

Very interesting. What's the correct answer?
