Can a site rank successful in Google's SERPs even without a large number of external back links.

Hmm, I don't understand all these "Yes" answers. Either I am living on a different planet, or we perceive the word "successful" differently.

I am mostly in e-commerce. Netmeg, you too, right? Try to sell televisions, fridges, kitchens, whatever and overrank overstock, walmart, bestbuy with a "quality" site. Those who answered "yes", either their niche is not where the money is, or is really limited in scope.

Think quality...

Naive, naive, naive. What eventually makes you rank in a competitive niche is Capital, not "quality".

Edit: oops, sorry, you obviously meant quality links, and I was thinking quality content. Was relating to the claim how quality content can make you rank
