Too many backlinks a bad thing (spam?)

If a site gets too many (thousands) of backlinks from the same domain (i.e.; Myspace) is it possible that G might penalize it ?

I get a lot of backlinks from image/video codes that people post on their Myspace profiles, and I'm wondering if too many might be a bad thing..

 

Yea it may hurt u if u got so many backlinks from a same domain or same IP.

 

I believe Google and other search engines will not penalize your page if it receives tons of links from the same domain. Why? To prevent sabotage.

It would be easy for your competitors to destroy your site if the search engines penalizes this act. The furthest they (search engines) will go is to devalue these links.

 

depends on the quality also.

 

I think it also depends on how long did it take to acquire those backlinks.

I don't think the site is penalized, rather the value of those links.

 

In some of the search engines too many backlinks are treated as a spam.

 

I don't think they will ban you but the links will be devalued....buts that's ok because you are going to receive a lot of traffic from these links

 

google have filters for this

 

yeah, probably your site will get filter for phrases associated with these links.

 

Another factor to consider is the ratio of links from this one site in comparison to the other links you acquire, how quickly those links are made, and more.

However I think what the others have said is correct; you won't actually be penalized for these links, instead their value will just decline.

 

I agree 100%. Its out of your control whol links to you.. I don't think google would put that as a factor in their search algorithm. I mean this would complicate the the ligfe of a webvmaster of he had to spend hours and hours seraching whether his/her vbacklinks are from the right places.

On another note, I think google simply counts a sitewide as a sinle link nowadays.

 

Exactly. The most important thing is consistency. If you're building thousands of links quickly then fine - as long as if you do the same amount of link building every week

 

As long as they are not link farms, gateway pages or all from the same IP it really should be fine. If you're cheating the system it aint good. If it's genuine or mainly genuine then you should be fine.

 

if this were true the bigggest myspace resource sites would not have ranked well in google.
the sites that rank top on google for kws like myspace layouts, myspace comments and other big kws get thousands of uniques every day and an equal no. of back links from myspace for the vistors using there sites.

google sure has a filter for this.

 

yup it will .. depends entirely on the IP address, n also the anchor text used by you...

 

I highly doubt it mate, the more the better. As long as you not linking back into any bad neighborhoods you should be fine...

 

too many is not a problem, but then too quick is!
try to make it slowly, and everything will be fine, just do it slowly

 

its a good thing, just not as good of a think as relavent ads, and as long as they are natural and not duplicates or abnormal

just make sure no banned sites have a link

 

if you have too much links very good thing. But this links not to be same.
