unusual domain question

arkhamindustries · 06-02-2011, 08:03 PM

lets say for instance, you have a site that is a subdomain of another site so the address looks something like(originalsite.yourdomain.com). but you do all the correct on page SEO and offpage SEO such as creating 3-5 quality backlinks a day and after a couple months or so it actually starts climbing the rankings and then lets say you want the site to have its own domain so instead of having originalsite.yourdomain.com you now have yourdomain.com

you have the originalsite.yourdomain.com set to forward to the new site, yourdomain.com and you start creating 3-5 quality backlinks each day for yourdomain.com

HOWEVER!, here is the kicker. what if you KEEP creating backlinks for the originalsite.yourdomain.com site that is only set to forward?

You would technically be getting twice the backlinks for the same site while still appearing somewhat natural. would google penalize you at all for such a thing?

Why would you assume that Google wants you to limit your backlinking to 3-5 links per day?

Here's how it works:

1. New sites very rarely get more than a few links at a time, but that's not a hard and fast rule. Some new sites get dozens, hundreds, even thousands of links overnight.
2. As a site ages, it gets more links more frequently. Or not. Some old sites stopped getting links years ago yet still rank.
3. All sites get links in spurts. If you publish an interesting piece of news or a cool piece of content, you can get dozens or hundreds of links in an hour. Conversely, a site can go without new links for weeks or months at a time.
4. Google only knows about links as it finds them. If your links aren't being indexed quickly, then as far as Google is concerned you're not getting links quickly.

If you're worried about a penalty of some sort because you're getting too many links too fast, the issue isn't the speed...it's the quality of the links.

I don't know of one SEO expert - not ONE - who recommends any sort of arbitrary link acquisition speed. Whoever gave you that advice doesn't know what they're talking about, or worse, they're selling you some crappy links.

...

As to your point, why not just generate more links to begin with? Also, why redirect half-way through the process? That's not going to help you. In fact, redirected links lose a little bit of value. Better to never redirect at all if possible.
