Did I get links too fast?

Hi,
This is about my personal blog site, I have about 6,000+ links and it's fairly new (been a month I think since it's up).

I had something like a 100 links and then I got a sitewide from this huge website with thousands of pages, so it's up to 6,331 now.

My question is, is google going to punish me via SERPS/PR for this?

Thanks...

 

please tell me the trick. how u hav build 6000 links in a month?

 

Sometimes the page you are pointing the links to may be filtered from the serps for some time. For example you will see your inner page outrankings homepage. It happens if you build too much links in a short period of time, it looks unnatural. But after couple weeks it should be ok. Hope this helps.

 

@rohit:

That's how. Plus most of my DP posts. And some friends.

And thanks freeman! I hope I'm in time for this PR update...don't think I can wait for more than a couple months to see my new pagerank.

I think it *might* (hoping) be considered natural since 6,000+ links are from the same website due to a sitewide link in the footer...

 

congrats there

 

as long as it doen't look like u bought them, just gained them in a fair way there should be no problem.

But that'd my experience I am not google.

 

I don't get this no-buying policy. What about ads? You get banned for ads?

In any case, I didn't buy the links, just made a redesign for them and they put my link in their footer. Meh, could that be considered buying?

 

i think that you'll have a drop in serps shortly.

 

Well, it's been a couple weeks since this happened and I haven't really checked on my serps a lot (nor done keyword targeting).

Guess I'll do that now. I'm first for "Deep Sarcasm" for a long time, might be subjective though.

 

Hope you will get a good PR in the coming update with all that 6000+ backlinks

 

Thanks dairyman!

And for those people interested in where I get the links from:

http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.co...ttp://www.deepsarcasm.com&bwm=i&bwmf=a&bwms=p

I know it shows way less than 6000, but Yahoo is weird like that. Take this for example:

http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.co...ttp://www.deepsarcasm.com&bwm=p&bwmf=s&bwmo=d

Click on the word inlinks and the number goes down

 

Been there before. Thousands links from a single domain should not hurt your PR or SERP as long you have quality site (non-spammy).

 

You must do some optimization in your page it will be help you to get the higher page rank

 

Thanks, I'll look for wordpress SEO plugins and stuff. I was planning to use Joomla before (and I was using it on www.deepsarchasm.com), which I think isn't good at SEO but I had modified it a lot to be better.

Time to modify WP then.

 

I would not take such great risks - build max 10 links a day. Quality links!

 

I was thinking it would count as a single link though...

I might be wrong (which is why I made this thread), though NoIppo leads me to believe I'm not.

Edit: I had madgamers remove the sitewide and the link is on the homepage only now.

 

Enviable, Hope you will get a good Pagerank.

 

You probably won't see any PR update until the update after this coming one if your site is only a month old. Least that's always been my experience. I've never gotten PR on the first visible PR update in a site's life, regardless of how many or what kind of links it has. Had a few blogs that were up for a couple months that didn't receive anything on the last update.

You should be good. Google won't penalize you for a site wide link. What might happen however is you might end up sandboxed for awhile as your site is still somewhat new. Seems to happen randomly to new websites and once you're in there, you're often there for a number of months until Google lets you out. It's like a test period to make sure you're not a spam site and to make sure you're gonna be around for awhile. So if you see yourself suddenly drop out of the SERPs, check the diagnosis section of Google's webmasters tools to make sure you haven't been penalized for anything. If you haven't, you've probably been sandboxed.

Just figured I'd tell you now so you didn't think it was due to the backlinks you've acquired, and because it's on my mind. I've got a number of new sites there myself at the moment that I'd love to get out of it.

 

my very basic understanding of the penalty for sitewide links is this:

if your already high serp for a specific term is due to a big sitewide link on a certain website xyz, and google finds that xyz shows characteristics of a site in the business of selling links or exchanging links with the purpose of manipulating serps, then when google removes the 'importance' from links on that site, your serp will drop to what it would have been before you got the sitewide link. so in some cases it might feel like you've been penalised.

that was very wordy. i'll try again in yardie-haiku form

when de Cutts come down
an' see you cheat him systim
him a buss you up

 

If its a new site it might be moved to sandbox and if you are trying to rank well for a competitve keyword you cannot do well if the site is moved to sandbox as you have built a lot of links in a short span of time
