De-Listed?!?

I'm new to SEO and it's my understanding that if you get too many
links too quickly for a new site, then it throws up all kinds of
flags and you're likely to get delisted, as it doesn't look natural.

So, my question is...

How does that work with products you hear about like Traffic Geyser, Brute force SEO, Tube Mogul and other auto/semi auto posting services?

>>> Would this be getting too many links to fast if it's a brand new site?

Any tips on actual numbers of what you've found to be "too many" and "too fast"
(or if my understanding of this is off, then let me know that too!

Thanks so much in advance

    Its more about link "velocity" In other words if you're consistently getting 10,20,100 links per day then G sees it as "normal" Now granted there are other factors, but assuming you didn't buy the domain yesterday and all of a sudden its getting 50 links a day, then, in my opinion, what is more important is the consistency of your link building.

    Don't build 100 links one week and then wait 3 months to build more, thats too obvious to the search engines.........again this is just my opinion.

    First of all, since this is almost a Groundhog Day thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/search.php

    Next, it's not the number of links that matters. Many sites get a lot of links very quickly. For example, every time the icanhazcheezburger folks or ZDNet add a new site it gets over 100K links instantly, no problems at all. Sites go viral and/or get news media attention and get tens of 1000's of links quickly, no problem. A male enhancement spammer builds 10000 links from a link wheel of brand new spam sites, problem. Understanding why this is the case is the key to understanding how linking really works.

      I don't think the site the links are pointed to gets de-listed. According to some I've asked about this, this is a big fat SEO myth.

      If it were true, all you would have to do is fire 1,000 links at your competitor's sites and get them all de-listed... just ain't gonna happen.

      What will likely happen, is that the new links just won't add link juice for you or they won't show up in the link count at all (hence your inbound link is "delisted"- not your site and not the site that contains the link).

        Exactly............the site won't be delisted, but the links will have little to no value.
