Building Backlinks: How fast is too fast?

So what I get from this is that if you get to many links per day or to many to fast you get penalized by google?

 

my personal take on it:

if it's a new domain, don't do any link building. just write content and spread it naturally, then let links come in from there.

if it's an old, estabslished, unsandboxed domain? 10,000 backlinks overnight won't hurt it.

 

Take time, too many and G really lets you know - i recently purchased a sitewide link on a national newspaper site - didn't really look into the amount of pages it had ... my SEO company sent an email to me regarding this and went mad at me the site had around 70,000 pages!!!!!!!! - on the recent page rank update (and still happening for my site) its giving readings of PR2, pr1 on certain datacentres (site has been PR4 for years) - god damn!! silly slips like this cause problems.

My seo company told me to stop buying links for a month or so, also they have told me you should really be linking to 2 sites a day, and leave for a few days then another couple, likes it natural...

Just beware of sitewides, as my site is a trusted (4 yr old) family friendly site also because of this link we've seen a huge drop in clicks see image below

 

I do ROS link exchanges all of the time and have no problem. though most of those have maybe a few thousand pages, not 70,000. suppose I don't have enough experience with those particulars to comment.

when you say the site was four years old, do you mean it was in google for four years? that's the essential bit really

 

Are you guys kidding me? Come on now, SE's don't care how fast your getting the links inless you got 100k over night, then something going on. I have built 2000 ibl links up in 2 weeks.

My friend owns a seo firm, and trust me you can build back links very very fastyl, the harder you work at getting ranked in white hat techniques the better your going to get ranked, just start link building, and quit worry about getting in the sand box, just trust me.

I use to do over 150 directory submission a day, my friend does link building for a living on a directory submission service, and he will build links very fast, and never SEEN ONE get put in the sand box.

 

monthly 200 - 400 links is ideal for me. some week i buid more thans 100

 

Be patient. Maybe 3-5 backlinks per day, but keep doing, month by month.

 

In my opinion there is no too fast, i havent gotten penalized for getting backlinks so far... well unless your site is really new, then i can see where the problem lays

 

Make a regular habit of making 4 to 5 links per day.

And continue with it. This will help you in long run.

 

Just do it as fast as you can until you bored.. !!

 

my site increases by 500-1000 daily due to my SEO knowledge

 

Conclusion: if you can still do it manually, there isn't a problem.

 

For my PR5 site I try to make it look natural:
Day1: 3 links
Day2: 5
Day3: 0
Day4: 0
Day5: 2
Day6: 6
Day7: 1
etc...I also vary the link text.

 

I think it depends on quality - if you get 50 low quality links in a day, it could hurt you.

But I am not one that agrees that garnering too many links too fast will hurt you. For example, lets say you launch your site and WHAM! CNN, MSNBC, AOL, Yahoo!, and Associated Press all do a story on it. In that same day, you will garner, more than likely, thousands of shitackular links, and some great links. Is Google going to penalize you for having buzz?

The same thing goes for linkbait in a specific community, it might take a week, but you could get every blog in your niche to link to you, that could be 1000 links. Is google going to make you not show up for that search?

Does google have a filter for buzz? I think it has to do with speed and quality, not just speed.

 

I think where the links are coming from play a big part. I know google isn't suppose to penalize you for inbound links, but if it becomes common knowledge that links come from say "said link farm" you will be smacked.

 

I'll go against the grain here and say just start pushing hard to begin with. Don't worry about the short term, work on the long term. If you can get a link, get a link and don't worry about Google so much. Take what you can get and be happy.

If you can build 100 a day, go for it. If you do it right it can't hurt. The worst that can happen is that you don't get much of a boost for a while. No biggie. Build lots of links, get lots of attention and then in 6 months worry about it.

 

If the site you are building links for is a new site you should build links slowly I don't know how many links a day would be appropriate though.

 

here's a thought nobody has mentioned. lets say you get 4000 bl in 2 weeks with 0 traffic increase. That to me is a red flag. That screams "I'm link baiting" If you have a buzz and get 4000bl and your traffic goes nuts, that looks natural. Anyone know if google will penalize for too many links, too few traffic?

 

You can have as many as you can. Backlinks are great factor in SERP ranking and in pagerank.

 

Well, you can get maybe ~100, but sure not 1000
