Incoming backlinks from other sites is what we we're talking about right?
And who used the Site command? I didn't. I also didn't mention that was the correct format to check for Yahoo backlinks.
Code:
linkdomain:www.interiormall.com -site:www.interiormall.com
The example i used above shows you the amount of backlinks.
You're showing results that include backlinks from the domain itself as well.
You can use your own example, the one that shows you the 33k results and then from the first drop menu you select
Except From This Domain
It shows you 2,600 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

See above

Linkdomain works on alltheweb and altavista. Site command only shows indexed pages. not links
|
I didn't use the operator to show indexed pages, I'm showing you what Yahoo displays as backlinks from other sites.

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!
|
I rather have 10 incoming links from topically relevant pages then a 1000 from pages that has nothing to do with my content
So in my opinion it's more then a numbers race.

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.

Depends, if it's not topically relevant it's not.

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"
|
How about the pages?
Are they topically relevant in any way?
An indication of a descriptive anchor text alone does not mean it's coming from a topically relevant page.

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.

This does not convince me that increasing PR is based on having more incoming links then a random site you came up with or any site for that matter.
If a PR 4 site on any given topic has 1000 links it does not mean i have to get specifically more then 1000 links in order to even get the chance getting a similar or better PR.
Not sure I agree simply because A: I think your
backlink search is wrong and B: i believe in the power of topically relevant backlinks and not an X amount of backlinks to increase your PR and your rankings.
