Backlinks

Hi Guys,
I have up a website and I am now trying to do 3 backlinks a day to it until I get to about 90 backlinks and then hopefully start doing a lot more, I was told for the first 25 links, to make sure each of the links comes from a different source and not 2 from the same place. So my site is based around a baby products, and at the moment I am looking for some dofollow blogs to post on that subject, which is not all that easy. Am I better to only post and link to websites related to the exact baby product, or would it be ok to try get links from sites that mention the word baby or articles that mention the word baby, or mother or baby toys etc?

Personally I find very little to no difference on the "relevancy" of the links, and have ran a quite a few different controlled tests.

IMHO more links = better every time.

Thanks

So maybe I should find a few dofollow blogs and forum that I find interesting and post on them for a lot of my sites?

Thanks

Yeah, but you'll want to diversify them some. If you get 100 backlinks from the same site, they obviously aren't going to count as 100 unique links.

  Getting relevant links is good but I think we should not go overboard. If you target good quality and high PR backlinks, this is good enough to boost your search engine ranking.

I also found this when I freelance Link built, but I firmly believe that quality > quantity.

What if it was a blog? What if you did a blogroll link exchange? You're going to get more than 25 incomming links from that blog. Just don't use some software to build you thousands of pointless links and I think you should be fine.

When things get popular on the net, they seem to do it really fast and sometimes all at once.

I think you type faster than me. You probably explained it better as well lol.

Thanks

Blogrolls are great links to get, it's the reciprocal link exchange that doesn't carry much weight. You can find some good WSO for blogroll links with PR.

Blogs all link to each other from their blogrolls. Usually just a list of link friends on their sidebar of every page.

That means you have hundreds of pages linking to your site. On a popular blog we are talking thousands. Really throws off your link counts I find because I doubt Google cares that much when a blog owner just links out from every page.

How strong is your link count really though when you could lose thousands of links with the click of a button if the blog owner took you off their blogroll.

Does it happen much that an owner would ditch your link?

Might look into this a bit more but as someone else said quality or quantity

Thanks

Relevancy is a bit of a red herring, a decent link is a decent link. You could also look at creating some "satellite" sites with your own content to link back to your own etc. Also look for relevant forums (pregnancy, new mothers, etc etc) and do some signature links etc
