I think you put too much emphasis on links alone. Try to split your effort to improving your site and also on the link building.
400 per month is reasonable and achievable therefore i see no reason for google to ban your site for building 40 links in a month but make sure u don't use blackhat as it may land u up in the sandbox. hope that helped
It's very difficult to say how much links you should start off building for a new site because google does not give us a number. I do not think 400 links a month is too much but you should try to make your link building look natural you should slowly increase the amount of links you build on a monthly basis.
400 for a new site is not good. you need to build new pages and add new content on that speed too. build internal n index page links one by one. divide your efforts to the entire site that could look more natural
Not to get penalized by Google, I will built only 10-15 links in a month....More links, Google will understand as blackhat
One thing to be mindful of when building backlinks is to vary the anchor text as well. If you use the same anchor text every time it can cause your site to be penalized. You CAN build backlinks too fast. I used to do this and it hurt some of my sites. But now I have a system of making backlinks to my sites which is very natural and these are high quality links over a variety of PR2 to PR5 and higher blogs. I have seen a HUGE increase in traffic as a result of ranking higher in the search engines and recommend you take a look at this.
lol ya, the more links the better it doesnt matter how fast, many sites go viral and get lots of links fast. Think about it guys links dont hurt, other wise you could build links for your competition and get them penelized.
its just ok to build links fast, but build your links to good domains and not domains that google consider as spams
i have built backlinks very fast and never had a problem. im a software developer and when i release new software i submit it to 800 software directories at once. this usually results in 500 backlinks in a couple days.
I think a site can not get penalized for getting too many backlinks in short period of time, as if google used to penalize sites for getting too many backlinks [quickly], then people will start to do all this for their competitors in order to get them penalized. The worst that can happen is that google will ignore such links, that is, you will get no credit for those links.
I have got 300 backlinks in a month.. Through Directory submition, and Classifieds Posting, Google will punish me?
I think, if we generate links too fast and with the same anchor text, Google may place some kind of penalty to our website. It can be 30 plus, 60 plus penalty
