Speaking at a search conference in Bulgaria, Google's Gary Illyse said, "We need very few links to rank pages ...... Over the years, we've made links less important."
Someone professional on a foreign platform published an article discussing whether links are still important to Google when it comes to search engine rankings.
Google's Gary Illyes said that Google needs very few links and more evidence that links are more important than at any other time in SEO history.
Apparently Google's Gary Illyse told a search conference in Bulgaria: "We need very few links to rank pages ...... Over the years, we've made links less important."
He also tweeted to confirm that he did say this, although he mentioned that he shouldn't have. You can read the thread on Twitter/X. Interestingly, one commenter said it was completely untrue.

Background on Ranking Links
Links were discovered in the late 1990s as a great signal for search engines to verify the authority of a website, and then Google soon discovered that anchor text could be used to provide semantic signals about the content of a web page.
