How hard is it to rank above a site that has 300 back links from dex?

[marker-311528]

I am new to SEO and have started my keyword research. One keyword I would like to rank for has a competing site with over 400 back links, 300 of which are from dex. How hard would it be to outrank links coming from dex?

dex?

Dex is a yellow page company with an on-line directory.

You should look at the overall root domain links and not be too concerned over links solely coming from just a single site.  300 unique root domain links is by far a lot better than 300 links from dex regardless of its authority or pagerank.

High rank on any keyword is achievable depending on your commitment level and budget. Competing pages with 400 pages (mostly from the same sites) is not too competitive but at the same time you need to put in the effort in your side anlog with adequate link building budget.

Just focus on 3 basic principles.

• getting links that are more relevant than those linking to competiton.

• Links that carry more authority, trust and high backlink count

• Focus on obtaining higher number of root domain links than your competion.
