it depends so seo is not a specific technique or so precise in reality it depends also from the quality in reltion to the number so it can increase your rank and so decrease of your competitor..

it depends on the quality of backlinks you have. Quality is more important than quantity. Even if you have more backlinks compare to your competitor, it doesn't assure you higher rankings.
