My site is about 2 months old, and in that time i have built up over 3000 backlinks. i have 1 pr5, 4 or 5 pr4 and countless pr3 and lower. most are pr0 though. I am a little afraid that if i continue at this rate, google will flag me for maybe buying from a mass link network. could this happen?
probably not, I did about the same for couple of my sites and they are still on top positions on google.
If they're good natural backlinks, you shouldn't have a problem. But if you're paying for them, Google may think something is a bit odd.
I doubt you will get done for building links too quickly, if they were natural. But building lots of links from the same "link network" will look bad and could get you penalised, unless of cause it digital point coop will google seems to have no way to stop.
Don't add backlinks so quickly. Pace yourself. Backlink adding needs to be more about consistency rather than shear volume.
It's not necessarily bad, there are examples of sites with a more rapid and much stronger link growth that never had any problems...but the risk of raising some flag and getting penalized/sandboxed is certainly higher than with a more moderate developement. Depends alot on the link sources and quality.
If you add 20k backlink a month, then you must add ~20k backlink on next month, and so on.... otherwise if backlink increase suddenly stop, even me will think it's unnatural
Wouldn't you feel suspecious if a new site in your index starts to get a lot of votes by old established sites? There's your answer
Shouldn't hurt your site. Google will decide its own pace for giving you full credit for the links though.
yeap. it may cause problem, in serp. best way , go easily with good links while your link building campaign.
It depends on what you can build consistently. If you have a peak of 3k for a couple months, then do nothing for six months, it might raise a red flag with google. If you do even a thousand in a single month, and nothing the following month, then that is also possible to trigger a google red flag. But if you are doing 3k consistently for six or twelve months, then it may be seen as more natural and therefore will not generate a red flag. Natural links are always better than paid links, but the overall strategy should be to avoid triggering red flags by showing sharp peaks and deep troughs.
