While quality trumps quantity, a significant number of backlinks is an indicator of the "broad" [relevance] and appeal of content.
A large number of high-quality backlinks can significantly improve your SEO performance.
When building backlinks, you should acquire them from a variety of "domains" and "sources."
Some of the white hat link acquisition tactics that can be used are guest posting, digital fusion database PR, resource page link building , broken link building, unlinked brand mentions, and others.
Link type
The type of backlink determines the "link profile score".
"Dofollow" links [pass] link juice, while "nofollow" links [do not].
However, nofollow links from trusted and highly trafficked sites are still useful because they help maintain a natural ratio of dofollow to nofollow links .
A strong link profile has a mix of dofollow and nofollow links.

There is no magic ratio to follow, however, the ratio should preferably be higher than nofollow because dofollow inbound links directly [build] the strength and ranking potential of your domain.
