    Hello there!

    I was curious with one thing. i got to know that backlinks help you increase your site ratings but then there is another myth that too many backlinks in the start can get you blacklisted. is this true? what is the perfect frequency for a site that has just started.

    Let me know what you think about my question.

    Cheers.

    For a site that has just been started, you want to have on-page links.

    Next, you want to get some links from similiar sites. If your site is a blog, go to other blogs that are similar to yours and comment on their posts (be helpful - don't spam)

    You may also want to bookmark your sites. 30-50 bookmarking sites is more than enough.

    Next, you want to hit up web2.0 sites with information linking back to your site...

    the list goes on...

    I could write out an entire ebook of backlinking strategies, but it'll be overwhelming.

    The thing to remember is that linking is a marathon so don't aim to have 1000's of links within a few days....

    Hope this helps...:)

    The last part of the explanation is what I am more interested in. If that is a marathon, you are supposed to reach up a certain distance over a certain time. Can you help me out with that? Like how many links are healthy for a fresh site and where should they be placed? Like as a nerd, i might assume that linking my blog with 200 other blogs is healthy while linking it with 20 forums is not. This is just an example. Let me know the frequency of links that need to be generated over say a day, a week, a month, and the first three months. Is there any formula with that.

    Well Daniel, I think that nobody can tell you for sure what is the best strategy and an exact number of links that you can get in a certain period of time without harm you site. Well I use to keep some tracks by myself only that until you gain enough data to make some statistics, all the things are changing so is very hard.

    But I can give you some examples:

    I have a blog that have 6000 backlinks only from comments, no forums , nothing, manual comments. I built all 6000 in 6 months, and the links only did good to my SERPs ;)

    Anyway a MUST is to stay away from automatic link builders(anykind)

    I hope that this helps ;)

    Good luck

    10 links a day for the 1st month is OK, any more and you're risking the dreaded sandbax . .

    the question is too general... traditional linkbuilding strategy like forum posting, blog commenting,directory submission and article submission works

    Consistent as in the equal number of backlinks everyday? 5-10 per day will do? And what is the best place.

    backlink variety and quality is much better than volume. Start with social bookmarking, forum posts, article marketing then attack .gov links and web 2.0 properties

    The first thing to do when starting linkbuilding is social bookmarking. That's the most effective way to start linkbuilding campaign.

    You never get blacklisted for to many backlinks..Just like duplicate content is a myth so is that. Just do some research about backlinks and youll get it soon enough

    The amount of indexed backlinks depends on the speed of the search engine his spider which is crawling the webpages. So if you submit a backlink there is no guarantee when it will be indexed, it can be within minutes or maybe even a week or more.

    My tip: keep it natural!

    Just do the first few months a few quality backlinks start after some time with submitting more but again keep it natural.

    Another tip: dont post a backlink from a techsite on a viagra website, keep it in the same category.

    Good tips, however the speed at which you get backlinks to your site doesnt matter. Sandboxing is just a myth.

    personally you want variety.
    1) not 5 a day or whatever. set a random amount each day between 0 and 30.
    2) hit up the .edu and .gov sites
    3) high PR sites with few external links
    4) variety
    and theres loads more things. research it...

    The most popular method of backlinking is writing articles and submitting to directories.

    Write stuff but make sure that you keep the cherry in your site, your SERPS will get affected if you are distributing goodies everywhere. There is nothing as easy backlinking, so use all the methods that you can to get more backlinks, irrespective of them being follow or nofollow.
