hi, anyone knows what is the max number of links i can get to my site, before googles penalize it? I heard that there is new algorithm in google, and there is a max number of link you can build per day. Thank you
it depends, u may build around 25 to 50 links per day, but use unique content and different anchor text.
not true - add as many as you like. I've been adding about 100 a day for my site in my sig and it's doing great. sometimes sites go viral and Google can't penalize a site for getting a lot of links in a short period of time tons of innocent sites would get penalized.
Nobody truly knows the algorithm. I personally aim for a minimum and maximum per day. Minimum of 1 link per day and a maximum of 20 per day during viral times (news releases related to your niche).
There is no real limit but... A new site that get ~50 links per MONTH will receive a -30 penalty. Yet a site that is 2 years old can do it. If the links are from Blogs, Forums, etc. then this is great but if it is from reciprocal linking your toast. The best example of this is my Sigs, two go to my site, and the other two go to friends sites. When I applied the Sigs to all sites, my site gained, but the other two went "poof" in the SERPs. Both received a -90 penalty from Google for excessive link building. We had added ~380 links a one time to them. My site is old and the other are less than one year old. So if you are ranking in a position for awhile and you add a large number of links, check out the drop in the ranking and count the loss. It will give you a good understanding on what G thinks about your "volumn" of linking. And these are the number of indexed links by Google that I am talking about, not what you think you have done. I use Webmaster Tools to define my "link count".
I think a site can not get penalized for getting too many backlinks in short period of time, as if google used to penalize sites for getting too many backlinks [quickly], then people will start to do all this for their competitors in order to get them penalized. The worst that can happen is that google will ignore such links, that is, you will get no credit for those links. There is no limit to how many links you can get per day, just try to get links that look natural.
My website (8 months old) got a penalty of -100 position, went from page 1 to page 10, because my backlinks count went upto high in short time. Traffic dropped from 1000 a day to 10 a day now! PR4 became PR0 (Although i dont chase PR's, only SERPs matter for me). My website has 0 outgoing links. Just linked my site, from my 3 other sites and I have even PR7, PR6, PR5 links, edu links and all SEO stuff. If you think, you can't jeopardize the ranking of your competitor by link-building - Try it once.
If a competitors website is old, but only has a few hundred or even a thousand backlinks you could get them penalized by building up there backlink count heavily. In my opinion it is very unethical and I would never wish it upon anyone, even if they are in direct competition. Xrumer, PRstorm work wonders if you spam the hell out of a site to get it penalized. Now if that sites has thousands and thousands of backlinks, then it will be nearly impossible to get them penalized.
Get as many baclinks as possible and google gives more importance to your backlinks if they are not two way links (link exchange) and links from related niches are better to acquire... BTW, not all forum links are taken into consideration while calculating the number of backlinks for a particular site by google.
limit? idk if there is a limit. there might be a limit on duplicate anchor text but come on. If you reach the front page of digg and get 1,000 links out of it Google is going to respect them rather than punish you. trust me I've seen it happen.
I dont post that much a day...ok...I have in the last few days...and the more time I spend on here???
Just add as many as possible, but not too many and certainly not too fast or it will trigger an alarm in Google algorithm.
