Here is the correct yahoo results

linkdomain and site command does not give accurate info. this is from the yahoo main site, if you go directly to site explorer it is the correct command.
But the above link count shows Inlinks (29,420) on yahoo. this can vary from data center to data center
Linkdomain works on alltheweb and altavista. Site command only shows indexed pages. not links
And the entire internet is a numbers race. and looking at the links that this site has. over 85 % of the pages the links comes from have decorating, decore, home decor, rental decor in the title. and in the content which makes them HIGH QUALITY!
The average PR of the links pointing to the site is 2.2 . It has 1 .gov and 2 .edu links whach are real powerfull and creates authority when the gov and edu's link to you.
the diversite of IP addresses is over 98%.
The pages with the links to this site are at an outbound to inbound ratio at about 46%, so they are gaining more than losing.
64.8% of the anchortext is "Decorating" This means 10k links from quality, related and high pr sites are linking to this site with the anchor of "decorating"
This is not easy to overcome with a few hundred links from anywhere. next to impossible.
they will need several thousand quality links minimum.

"And the number of backlinks is not what's important - it's the quality thus topical relevance that is important combined with the number of those topically relevant backlinks."
The number of quality links is very important if your comp has high quality links that are anchored correctly.
And "Topical" does not make a relevent link. Having your keywords in the title and content of the linking page makes it relevent.
a link from a page with "shark" in the title and content will do your ocean site no good unless it has something more closely related to shark.
Relevence is determined by the title and content of the
page the link originates from.
Is there anything else you would like to know about www . rentaldecorating . com ???
Realisticaly, they will need 3 to 4 k links if they cut the title down and get very targeted and target that one main keyword.
Now, they can get other phrases on the way up, but for these national keywords, it will be a long steady climb.

And as you can see, the quality of the links this site has is top quality. so you need to do as well and a little better to beat them. My analysis is correct. and you still have to account for growth of links on this site and calculate their growth rate, they are still competing also.
and i came up with these numbers with professional SEO software and the experience of SEOfor many years with major online retailers and over 300 sites to the first page of google, yahoo and msn, altavista and alltheweb for millions of phrases.
If you would like a copy of the analysis, i can email it to you or anyone that wishes to see it.
I will never tell you something that is not true, and i will never speak unless i am 100% sure of myself. My reputation and history speaks for itself and i will be more than happy to vaidate anything i say publicly.
This is alll i do, SEO and online marketing. I am not a designer, programmer or graphic designer. not an affiliate manager, just a SEO and online marketer. This is what i get paid to do everyday.
It is not a hobby and i do not speak opinions. I also do not sugarcoat anything.
Now, we have gone way off target of helping. the point is that he will need several thousand quality links to take top positions for his chosen fields and can expect a long crawl to the top. I would start with some lesser keywords to start and then grow in steps.
