    I have a few sites, two in particular I have been writing an article a day for each one, posting them on my blogs, then writing a further lot of articles for posting on article sites.

    Everything was working fine until the latest google update, now the sites are all over the place, being at the #1 #2 inner page and other site #3 and #4 inner, the later has dropped to the bottom of the page?

    So i want to know how many articles to post per month without google banning me, I currenctly pubmish 80 articles per week and have done this for the past 3 months, each articles has 2 links so 160 backlinks per week.

    Any ideas for people with experience please.

    First of all you can't write yourself 80 articles per week.

    It takes a massive amount of links to penalize you. As long as you are not posting to link farms you should be fine.

    if you are consistent in building links, then no matter how many links you build, you are not supposed to get penalized. its the people who use tools like blog comment posters or xrumer for forum spamming or other forms of automated link building tool to build thousands of links within a short period if time then do nothing are the ones that get penalized

    How many links do you think are created every day on the internet? What about just on this forum? I'd bet over 1,000 just on this forum alone.

    Take that into account, basically unless you're using software there is no number of links you can build which are going to make Google pay attention to you. Certainly articles won't do it.

    I'd guess the over under is about 10k per month to risk a penalty

    I got sandboxed for around ~200 automated backlinks per day for a week, but it depends on other factors such as where the backlinks are, domain age, etc.

    I wouldn't worry about this unless you are going to "SPAM". SPAM is for idiots, and will get you nowhere fast...

    Build links properly and you will eventually get to where you want to be.

    It's not as simple as google banning your site based on any number of links.

    The way it works is that google monitors backlinks to a page getting built each day over a certain period of time. The way to not get penalized is by ensuring consistency. What will get you penalized is a spike in the backlinks your page is getting.

    If you submit 80 articles in one day and none for the a month, you're page will get penalized, while if you submit 80 articles a day, every day for a week and then gradually decrease by about 5 articles each day until you're no longer posting links, then you'll be just fine.

    Google will not penalize your page unless the backlinks being built appear to be unnatural. :)

    And remember, each backlink you post on the same site is going to be worth less each time, so if you're submitting 80 articles a week but they're all to squidoo.com or something, you're not doing your site much benefit.

    As someone else mentioned, it depends on how new your domain is. Secondly, the other key factor is whether these links send traffic. Google wants natural links which means even if a new domain gets thousands of links right away--provided this happens naturally, then these links/social media should drive a corresponding amount of traffic. The difference between natural links and SEO links is that they probably won't drive much traffic directly which will get your site flagged by Google's spam filters.

    Here....

    I build all of my backlinks by way of article marketing... But they also get built by blog commenting and by forum postings as well...

    In my Google webmaster tools, I have been fluctuating backlinks between 1,000 and 900, but then it would fluctuate from 1,100 and 1,000 - and keep going up and up. I have been hitting article marketing hard for the last 3 months and now it says I have over 4,500 backlinks. That is a HUGE jump in just one day.

    Everything so far, is good... But, I built these backlinks the right/correct way, NO SPAM, no crap techniques.. ALL WHITE HAT

    Article marketing isn't quite what it used to be. Back in 2007, I used article marketing to great effect (pr3-4 ranking) and high ranking on Google search terms for product sites (static sites that had no blog/article content)

    Now, most article marketing sites give your links a nofollow tag--if they don't Google has flagged most of these sites anyway so they no longer pass pagerank. The number of people that republish these articles is also drastically reduced. On top of that, Google doesn't give PR weight to duplicate content, so article marketing probably still has some effect, but no where near as good as it used to be.

    In 2007, if you published a half-way decent article on a site like Ezine articles or similar, it would get republished with your hypertext link on hundreds of sites. You could then make a few changes to the article and submit it an other article sites too and get it republished by a few hundred more sites, etc. Recently, when I tried this again, the articles might have been republished on 10-15 sites at most.

    I would think in terms of "what wouldn't look natural", rather than focusing on a specific number of links.
