Too many links. is that a problem

Depends - I doubt it's as simple as just how many links appear at once. We all know that Google rates a page based on 100 different factors, inbound links being just one of them. Age of the domain being another.
50000 new links to adobe.com in a day probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow. 50000 new links to a domain registered yesterday? I'd be willing to bet Google would realize something none too "organic" about that.

 

Unless all the links are from a PR 6+ page, the link backs would not be identified immediately by the bots.

However I'm comfortable getting 5 - 10 links each day. May be it's the time constraint or am a lil lazy to get push my guys to do it everyday. It works fine for me.

The thing with getting 5 - 10 links each day is that you will never really grow your websites traffic from them unless your links are on pages that are visited by thousands daily.

Getting 5 - 10 links each day is good for a search engine, but trusting a search engine with all your traffic is to risky in the online business.

If the search engines suddenly change the algorithums out of the blue and your site falls well down into the serps, then you have practically lost most, if not all of you traffic in a day.

 

i think it doesent metter how many links, but best are tematic links

 

what is tematic links

 

thematic = related to your niche

 

I shot a 1000 links in one day. the search engines didn't pick them up right away anyway. but i'll watch out when putting up 100 000 link for sure it's a spam.

 

I think they are OK.

 

I have submitted to over 90 directories for 6-7 days continuesly and on 8th what i am watching is my site is gone from first 3 pages of google. so dont over link ur site. i think just 20-30/day would be fine

 

hello thanks alot for the information very usefull

 

They do not necessarily ban the sites that are listed on that particluar page. It is known that too many links on particular page could mean less PR value to the sites listed there.

I doubt google will ever ban for putting too many links (especially if those are relevent your niche). Even if they do ban, the effect will be to the main site/page only rather than the sites listed there. In that way a competitor can not hurt your rankings.

But of course there are tons of other ways of kliing competitors.

 

The thing is, rankings go up and down all the time.

I actually find that sometimes I do advertising and my rankings improve and other times it goes down. It's not really much to do with the fact of the links, but more to do with how Google works. They update their rankings all the time. Different sites are doing exactly what you are doing, which is getting backlinks. If they get better and more backlinks and do more seo than you, then they may rank higher than you when before they didn't which will then knock your site down.

 

I personally dont recommend these tons of link building in a day. I would recommend that you go for good thematic links from trusted sites. For example a link from a .org or .gov site would work wonders for your site.

 

I've built sites that have been hammered with 1,000s links from day one, and completely unrelated links with no bad effect.

Every person whos come to me with a supposed penalty from too many links has had big onpage problems, and when corrected the SERPs improve.

 

I don't want to take this off topic but could you elaborate on what on page issues that caused the "ban".

I would like to do a link push for a couple of clients but if there are other things I should fix before I do I would like to know what to look out for.

Thanks,
Robert

 

Mainly spammy tactics like stuffing title tags and Alt image tags, very high keyword density, non unique meta tags and even badly formatted code.

 

Ok, very good to know, I try to be very picky what keywords are on a page since I generally want very targeted traffic to any given page.

Anyway that would explain why to date none of my sites have been banned doing large link drives at a time. Plus it generally takes time for the links to build up anyway.

Thanks for the info!

 

I think it's a problem when you get like 1000 backlinks with exactly the same anchor text.

 

I think john is right.

 

good point
