This is only a small part of the story. Google ranking is not actually based on the number of links. You could have 10 million in-links and have a lower rank than a site with only 100k in-links. Why? Because google ranking is more heavily computed based on the google ranking of the sites which link to you. So, if Joe Blow's Blog has a pagerank of 1 and links to you, it will have almost no result. If Slashdot with a pagerank of 9 links to you, it will have a large effect.
