Backlinks - Do I have Too much? Too little? Enough? How to Know?

How do you actually know when you have enough or too little backlinks?

I know this question is very abstract and backlinks are just a piece of the authority cake, but I wonder if there are points where you have enough and what are the signals.

Should I always seek more and more backlinks? Will it yield diminishing returns with higher numbers?

Current stats - about 1200 total traffic a day, out of which 300 is daily google and 80 bing. Domain less than 6 months old. I have numerous good top 1 keywords.

Content is gaming (actual video games). I dont do gaming news, more like evergreen tools people spend a lot of time on.

My BL Profile from GSC:

1216 - Reddit.com - from our posting - most are actual good upvoted posts with hundreds of upvotes. These posts are UTMed, themselves rank very highly in Google and account for about 25 % of daily traffic.

133 - Friendly gaming site - (probably from footer link)

11 - Big gaming site - Wrote article about us naturally

10 - Friendly gaming service (we cooperate on some things)

6 - Hungarian gaming site - Wrote article about us naturally

4 - Russian gaming site - Wrote article about us naturally

3 - Wikipedia

2 - Big gaming forum - Our posts

2 - Massive Gaming Mod Page - Our posts

2 - Large national media

2 - Zendesk support forum lol

+ 15 sites with 1 backlink, all backlink exchanges within niche and good placement, some yield about 20 clicks a day.

I avoid unnatural or dead link placements, only visited pages from actual working sites. Bing shows about 10 backlink domains and Ahrefs about 60.

Is this enough? Too much? Too little? Limiting factor? Or I have it covered? How do I know what are next steps for the fastest growth?

I'm seeking evaluation of my current profile and some general backlink knowledge for projects with already some traffic going

Thanks.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
