I don't believe there is a best link. Every link that you seek for should be treated as your best link. Always search for quality backlinks that have backlinks pointing to that site and if you get many of those, you should have no problem ranking with any keyword. Good luck and take care.

Marc: I do not think that a static link on the Google homepage would be a perfect link. You will find that such a link would first overload most webservers and by the time you get your server ready to handle it the link would have been replaced/removed.

Most often, you'll have only several parts of the equation, but the best links are from within context with relevant anchor text - and that's what a natural link is. So a natural link is the best, the search is over :) The thing is, there are different kinds of links and you can only setup a good link, if you control the page.

The other day I was comparing some relevant Yahoo backilinks with the Google backlinks. Then I tried (on Google) with my company name. Both (yahoo and company name search) gives results that appear to be atleast quite relevant (if not very popular in terms of back links) results. Is google just showing worthless reults in the link: operator search and hiding all the important ones? Somewhere I read that any link below a PR 4 is never dispalyed. I don't beleive this as I my research shows something totally different. any word on this Jim? Ashish Hi Jim,

Jen, you're not a ninja yet, but well along your way of the ninja path...the fact that you saw improvements for my links shows you're learning fast...and yes, you will get the unicorn one day and the lazer pointer to boot.
