I outsourced a blog comment package for 10k comments, i broke these into rss feeds and pinged them all. I have 4k of them showing in yahoo explorer now as backlinks to my website. Does google ban sites for this type of thing? If so, do they ban the site in question or will they also ban your entire network of sites? I ask because i read horror stories and some people blame mass backlinks on it. What about the accusation that google banning for these things is a myth because you can easily do it to your competition? P.S. I have yet to see any movement up or down a single position in the rankings after 3 weeks of having these 4k backlinks indexed.
How good are the blogs? How high PR? If they are just link farms, autoblogs, article spinning blogs, etc then they will do you no good.
Google hаs аlwаyÑ• been verу rigorous abоut the backlinks frоm unwanted оr vicious sites аnd it dеfinitеly punishes the sites with backlinks from Ñ•uch sites. Though, it'Ñ• nоt easy fоr аnyonе tо generate backlinks from vicious sites for your website, it Ñan be dоne with a few blackhat techniques. Sometimes, еvеn thе good backlinks Ñаn hаve а negative effect on уour website. For example, if yоu generate оnlу 10 backlinks frоm directories оn a daily basis and your competitor usеѕ Ñ•ome applications or manually gets morе thаn 3000 backlinks frоm directories for yоur website in а day, this will be noticed bу Google and Ñan hаve а negative effect оn yоur website.
Google makes allowances for the possibilities of competitors sabotaging your site with paid links from bad neighborhoods, consequently, as I understand, they will just discredit suspicious or proven paid links. What can get your site in trouble is putting something in your site that is evidence of your participating in shady link getting, like a special script for automated link exchanges. Some SEOs who don't worry about link volume are more concerned about maintaining a regular rate for link getting, try to avoid surges of new links. Conservative SEOs will advice you to add links at a slower rate to a new site, perhaps less than 3 months old, this probably comes out of the general philosophy of looking 'natural' in your link getting.
often now if you get too many links at once google simple won't credit you with them all the juice . also there is the time it takes them to index the links to consider. I would Give it a little more time add some content perhaps add a small amount of a different type of link then see what happens to your ranking just to make sure you aren't sandboxed...
Google does not know whether you or your competitors built those backlinks, I would not expect penalties. However, if you created backlink rss feeds on 1 site and pinged them all, this is very bad, now it knows there is only 1 author of those backlinks, most likely, Google will ignore all the backlinks.
Exactly this. Google will never penalize a site just because it has got lots of links in a short amount of time. It can happen and often happens naturally. What they can, and do, penalize is things like combining all those links to same place and pinging that. It leaves a giant footprint for Google.
never make lins to your links - that is asking for trouble, when you pinged 10k comments it is highly unnatural, and yes google will ban you if they thing you are manipulating / faking backlinks - read the webmaster guidelines and youll see... but yea - pinging your links is areal bad idea. dont do it next time, you paid for your comments and if they aint good enough to get indexed then what is acrappy ping going to do other than ping directly to google itsself - worrying idea that.

It's so hard to say as it varies from site to site. Google expects to see a number of 'poor' links to your site and the fact that competitors could spam links to your site means that it is very, very hard to get banned that way. That being said some sort of 'sandbox' penalty is likely if google sees a large unnatural fluctuation of links. Steady and consistent - thats my motto!
