they might, you better redirect 50% of the links to one of our sites. but really, 1,000 links a day isn't to many
As long as the backlinks aren't generated using a link scheme you should be o.k. A large number of low quality links tend to give a boost but it fades quickly. In the long run you will need to get some quality links.
Its not on the amount of backlinks you get; its on the quality of links you are linking in... If its a BAD NEIGHBOR SITE, even if is just few, you might be ban or penalize.
Bad neighborhoods linking to you shouldn't matter. The problem is when you link to the bad neighborhoods.
The most important are relevant and quality link... Make sure not spamming with links from all site, comment or etc to get link...
Too many links too fast will hurt your SE rankings, and possibly ban you temporarily from Google. You can build a hundred or so links per day and be safe, but when it gets to thousands and more daily, Google will flag your site.
I agree that "Bad neighborhoods linking to you shouldn't matter." because it is beyond one's control. Your link to (vote for) bad sites would spell trouble.
Getting large numbers of links is the point, isn't it. If you have a great idea for link baiting, it works and suddenly you are getting linked to from everywhere but Mars. You can't really control how many sites link to you so do you then get banned by google? I don't think so.- Then again I am not sure?
i suspect the engineers at google analyize the norm for link development per day relative to the age of the site. if they see a huge spike in the normally slow incline, then it'll probably get flagged. older sites probably have a long historic slope so a spike would look more like a blip while a newer site would certainly set off some alarms.
Lots of bullshit in this thread. Google, especially in the year 2010, is impressive at determining the quality and intent of a page linking to another website. It can even tell if the page itself is linking to your website or if a user-submitted aspect of the page (like comments) is linking to your site (which do you think is better?). Think of how long Google has been fighting such SEO practices as mass-blacklink spamming. Every year it refines its algorithms to filter out irrelevant backlink generation. And it's not that hard to tell either. It doesn't take a complex algorithm to look at the outgoing links on a page and see that it links to "yourdomain.com", "free-SEO-reports.info", and dozens of other unrelated websites.
I think as long as you generate relevant back-links by hand over a long period of time you should be ok. In my experience, farming a lot of links quickly from disreputable sources can only hurt your website. www.votetub.com
Definitely can be bad. I've definitely burned some sites beyond any possibility of recovery by building links too quickly. Some links won't matter. You can get a million directory or article links. Google will just kind of look at you and snicker. But too many links from some kind of automated link exchange system would be the kind of thing that would get your site banned.
I would have to say no. Although I think it does depend where you get you links from. As it has already been said, Link Farms can do more harm than good! I would recommend BackLinkSpider. This is a directory of sites that you join (FREE). Then insert some php on your site, which in turn gives your site a directory. Once this is done you can get over 1900 backlinks to your site because everyone who joins has to do the same. I have this installed on a few of my websites and I haven't had a problem. When I first tried this I expected google to pick them up straight away but it took a good few months before they were recognized as links back to my site. So, with that theory I would say that this method is safe. Give it a go and see what you think.
I think you said it right. Big G wont care if the Times gets massive backlinks because they've been around longer (I think)
Thanks for all the input here. My opinion is that Google will only penalize a site for ibl's if it gets links from bad neighbourhoods like FFA pages or if most links are coming from the same source. Other than that I don't see any problems.
