Has anyone had experience of a google penalty for building links too fast to a new site? If so, what did you do? How did you overcome it? If you have never had any penalities... What number of links have you built without getting penalised for a new site? 100 in a week? 1000 in a week? Please no newbs respond with lame comments, I want people with actual experience.
On a new site I would look for a couple of links a day or every other day for the first few months. If you get lots of links all at once on a new site it will go into the sandbox, I have been in the sandbox for 6 months upto a year. Go for quality on target links at first then after some months you can slowly start to increase the amount. This works for me.
Phoneguy 's ideas is great. I think u should imporve your links slowly . Google will not penalty you!
I have only had this problem for little sites which didn't get links from authorative ones. The ones I sent out press releases for etc and got tons of links on good webpages that way never seemed to be sandboxed.
Another quote backing up that links from authority sites results in avoidance of sandbox etc.... Define authorative sites? I assume you mean high PR domains such as news sites etc? I have access to .edu and .gov commentable pages with low outbound links, which is obviously great for linking too.
Hmmmm.... noone with any real experience having your site penalized for links too fast? I would love to hear a real experience someone had with this. As it stands, all I ever see are people repeating that you will get penalized but noone who can say it actually happened to them. If it has, please share!
Hi guys I have never experianced this, and i have never met anyone who has had their site penalised for it either, I think its a bit of a myth that cruises the forums ! Woc
One of my client wants PR4+ inbound links for his website. I would like to know the best place to get them and the best price for it. Kindly suggest. Regards, Ravi
I've had a site penalised in the past year. It was for overoptimisation and lack of inbound link anchor variation (I believe). You absolutely must vary your inbound link anchor text when it's a new site. "Waste" a few dozen IBL's on keywords that are related, but which you have no intention of trying to rank well for... Vary your IBL sources. Don't just grab free directory listings. Make sure you get blog posts, forum signatures, social bookmarking, etc, etc
I never thought that building links fast can also hurt in seo. How much fast do you call it as fast? That itself is relative.. I can't believe this.
gesus, where do you guys find so many links? i never thought get my links are enough or fast, so i never consider it.
In the early days of my SEO endeavours, I managed to get a site of mine sandboxed due to what I can only consider as the exponential number of links to my site with the same anchor text, all within the space of a week. Im talking about 500 links per day, over 7 days, all with the same anchor text. What I quickly learnt about those exercises is that Google is smart to the ways of spammers, 4000 links all with the same anchor text... no-no, that aint natural, and the site was penalised. I cant exactly tell when it came out of the sandbox and started ranking, but it was a throw away domain anyways, and it was roughly 8-12 months later that I started seeing traffic and being ranked. And by that stage, i reckon Big G had discounted all those links anyways, cos with 4000 links youd expect some good link juice and SERP ranking, which just was not the case.. If I think back at it now, the links were probably all on spammy link farms anyways..
Hi Everyone, Does anyone have Linkexchange partners Email ids so i can mail them for linkexchange kindly mail me on this email id "wiseguy7770@gmail.com Regards
I think if you do it manually it will never be fast enough for Google to punish. But if you use software it will be very fast and may get punished.
Ouch. Experience is the brutal teacher. Change anchor text, change descriptions, slower build rate, etc. Obviously those packages buying 17,ooo links for $12 placed in 48 hours is just asking for much pain.
