Should I do Massive Link Building?

    Is it still worth to build tons of links these days?

    Does Google only favour only links from high quality (PR) and relevant sites?

    I have to decide what Link Building strategy I should use:
    1. Tons of irrevelant sites
    2. Only handful of high quality revelant sites
    3. mix of the above

    What would you do if you were me? :confused:

    I did not see any concrete proof massive link building hurts a site, and if that was the case, then I can link-build a ton of links for my competitors and drop their rankings.

    Get both relevant and irrelevant links pointing to your site. Both help, and I did not see any proof one is better than the other. Also get any high and low pr links you can get, preferable with your target keywords as the anchor text.

    Use as many different methods to build backlinks and generally speaking, the more you get, the better. Take it slow because google can also penalize if you build them too fast.

    Backlinks are generally a good thing. The more places your site is displayed the more potential for visitors.

    Yah, just base it on your current backlinks and and only grow by a percentage of your current amount, so if it's a new site, don't have 1000's tomorrow.

    WEll building many links to a new site is very risky
    But an established site is more safe ...

    Building huge number of links will not effect your website badly, but the speed is always seen by search engines..
    Be slow and steady while building links.

    Check my post about that, hope that helps!

    If you find building revelant links to be easy...of course you build revelant links...but something things doesnt turn out to be this way. Finding revelant links its not easy. I would say build as much links as you can.
