World wide average of backlinks per web page?

Just guessing

[fischermx]

I remember the last time I saw the pages indexed in google was something like 4,000,000,000.
Now, I want to guess, how many backlinks in average are there for each of these pages?
1? 3? 5? 10? 20? How many?

I'm guessing a number between 2 and 3. Most pages are referenced by a parent page on the main website, at least. Many of this pages has just that backlink. Many pages don't even have one backlink, like lonely bloggers or parked pages (that might however be in the pages count).

What's your guess?

0.9

Many dynamic pages don't even have a real link to them...

5

Almost pages have ten or more links pointing anywhere.

What does it matter?

Joaquin:

I want to calculate the storage needed to grab all the links on the web, and the relationships between links.
That's why I'm asking.

I hope it didn't bother you, I'm sorry if it did.

Numbers don't matter. You can't get an average and then apply it to your site. It is the quality of the link that counts. If you only secure links from quality sites then your link count will be much lower than most others and especially those who submitted to "thousands of websites at once" and got zilch for the "effort".

I'm sorry fischer, I meant that the number of links doesn't matter, but the quality like the person above suggested. It's impossible to know an average but I'd say 3-4 for every page...
