Hi, I am currently writing articles for my new movie reviews site. I plan to build one-way links to my site by goiing to forums and posting my reviews in their "Post your reviews" section, and adding comments on blogs posts that talks about the same movie as in my reviews. The problem is that I read somewhere that if I do link building too fast, the search engine will ban me. Is that true? How can I avoid this? What is the maximum amount of links to my site I should make per week? I was planning to make around 1 post on 15 big forums to my reviews, every week, and to post around 200-300 comments on blogs about my articles, per week. Would that be too much, in your opinion? Ill be adding around 5 movie review per week (all the theatrical movies that goes out). Hope to get some answers soon, ans thanks all for your help Stev
I was also planning on buying links to my site on PR4+ movie related sites, to get it rank high on search engines, at first. Is that a good idea? Or maybe Im planning on promoting the site too hard? Thanks for your opinions, Steve
Steve, some people like to build links slowly....personally I get as many as i can regardless of how closely together it happens.
And you never got banned in the past for having too much links goiing to your new site, too fast? Thanks, Stev
no, you don't get banned for anything like that...some people believe that you get "sandboxed" though
it is not too much. however, if all the article you post look the same, it is going to look spammy. Also, by posting comment on blog, do you mean you are going to spam other's blog?
Nowadays most blog comments have the no follow tag so won't help search engine wise but could drive a small amount of traffic. But don't spam blogs as that is a quick and easy way to get a bad name.
I wrote an application once called article distributor that helped authors quickly submit their articles to article directories. It was free, but it also added a link to my site at the bottom of their "About me" box. In 4 months, over 120k articles had been submitted with it. I did not get banned. If SE's do ban you for getting links too fast, you apparently have to get more than 1,000 per day. If you manage to do that, PM me with a nice detailed "How to..."
I hire different writers to do my articles (actually, they are movie reviews). Each articles are written only for my site, so they are very fresh. I wont spam on blogs. What I plan to do is search for blog movie reviews about a certain movie title, then write what I think about the movie, then post a link to my site, for the people that want to read my full review. Would this be called spam?
That means that by posting on blogs, my search engine ranking wont go up? Are you sure about that? Thanks, Stev
I got into a discussion with Dan at vilesilencer about why one should or should not gain links too quickly. He offered some proof that adding links slowly was better because it looked more natural, but it seemed to me that Google doesn't spider every site every day. So given this, how do you know that Google isn't going to randomly find 300 new links to your site (that you added over the period of a month) all on one day? Sure, I may add them slowly over time, but Google may still find huge "chunks" of them all at once, so what real difference did it make?
but does it help you to get higher SEPR? my bad, i though you are going to leave sth like "please go to blahblahblah.com" in other 's site. BTW, leave a comment here http://www.nightbanquet.com. it is a movie blog. leave me a line.
Well, I rank number one for the phrase "Article Distributor" which was the anchor text for the link added at the bottom of the article. I also rank well for various terms involving articles and article submissions, but it hasn't helped my SERP for terms like "Big Shoes", "Widgets", or even "web design".
The no follow tag was introduced so that you could have links that spiders do not follow. Most blogs use "no follow" in their comments, though it is debatable whether they ignore it or not. I think it was introduced by Google so would expect them to take it into account.
Good point. I guess it would depend on what kind of site you're getting your links on - those that are spidered regularly or not.
Spamming any blog or forum is not a job which can be appriciated, But if u r getting backlinks through this practice , it won't hurt ur website position, It will definately help in boosting ur Site PR.
