    hello all,
    I have a new site, and i'm starting to deal with backlinks.
    How many backlinks will make google to start being suspicious about the origin of the links? I don't want to get any penalties...:)

    No matter how many backlinks your site get,
    the most important is that you can build up from the quality sites.

    There is no magic numbers/link counts that trigger any Google penalties, as it all depends on several different factors.

    Supposedly (and I say supposedly because only Google itself knows the definite answer) there's two things you need to keep in mind when link building:

    • Make it look natural - i.e. mix your links from sites with different PR levels, if you get ten PR7 links then make sure you get tons of PR0, PR1 links to back them up etc.
    • Don't build your links too fast. It's very OK with Google if you build 200 links today, then 100 tomorrow, 150 the day after etc. but if you build 500 links today, then 2 links within the rest of the week and then boom - 500 links on one day again I can almost guarantee you that something will happen :)

    All in all, whenever you do link building just think if it's reasonable to expect that your links build the same way naturally and if the answer is yes then you're on the safe side.

    I've heard google won't punish you for having too many backlinks, google will detech all your links and can tell which are quality ones and which arn't.l

    I dont think 500 links a day would be a penalty of some sort. The reason is that many people gain massive backlinks through wither pillar articles they publish or as soon as they release some ezine articles. Those normally ranges from 100 to even 1000's of backlinks depending on the value and the existing influence of the site. So will Google penalize a site for people linking to them? I guess not. the best GUESS is that quality links matters

    that doesn't sound right... If I'll add 3000 links in one day, google won't suspect a thing?
    this sounds much better:

    Google is not sensitive in how many backlinks you can build. Google will be cautious to your backlinks if they are submitted in a bad neighborhood websites, blogs, or directories.

    No matter the quantity sites points link to your site. But off-sure quality does matter .If a site having web pages points links to 150 sites and also to your site.It will not helpful for you for seo purpose.
