        Kevin - there are a lot of different factors that go into rankings.  In general, it's better to have links from more root domains, rather than a large number of links from a few root domains.  However, you can't disregard the quality of those root domains.  If you only get very low quality root domains linking back to you, while your competitor has a couple of great, high quality links with the right anchor text, they could still hold you off for a while.

        Sounds like you're on the right track though.

          Kevin, while analyzing your competitors and also while building your own strategy, the most important thing that you have to consider is quality.

          Usually good amount of links from fewer domains is not really helpful and it is always advisable to earn links from different domains….

          I think your first step must be to figure out the quality of domains from where your competitors are getting a link, are they relevant websites? News websites? High authority? And other important factors…

          Step two is to design you strategy in which you have to think that can you acquire link from the websites where your competitor’s link is present (if they are credible website this is a good strategy to start.)

          You also have to design strategies that allow you to get links from different domains like guest posting, info-graphics, interviews and more…

            Kevin it is all about quality vs. quantity but don't let anyone tell you the quantity doesn't matter... We are quickly moving up the rankings by doing a combination of Social Media Bookmarking, Video SEO, Article Writing,  Blogs, RSS submissions etc. I suggest you try a campaign involving those for starters and then maybe issue a PR via PRWEB.

            One challenge we face is one of the top ranking sites we are trying to beat is building 3K + links a month... Hard to compete with that so we are just doing as much as we can and focusing on quality first.

            6 months is good. Build out as much content and get the leg work started ASAP.

            Best of luck!

            • What is the importance of root domains linking to your website in Google's rankings? I notice our competition has a much higher number on keywords I'm analyzing. Thank you!
