Are these too many backlinks?

I would consider sending hundreds of backlinks daily to a relatively new money site quite risky and likely to cause a lot of bounce.

However, from your experience, how risky is it to send hundreds of backlinks daily to a second tier (backlinking your backlinks)?

Is it safe to hit that second tier of backlinks with thousands per week without worry?

    Yeah, blast away but with plenty of variations in keyword, email an comment. I have had no issues with negative ranking on my money sites after blasting lots at second tier articles.

    I wouldn't do those 'blasts' if i were serious about keeping the website in question for long term.

      Agreed...My experience is that a "blast" will result in a slap. I know others may feel differently but every time I start experimenting with this kind of stuff the results have been poor...You live and you learn!

      My suggestion: try it on a site that you are a bit indifferent on to see what happens...If you lose your ranking-not the end of the world. If your rankings increase you may be on to something.

    Blasting is definitely not the best way to go and often more risky than consistent link building.

    There really is no limit on how many backlinks to aquire but as stated above, try to diversify your methods, keywords, IPs, sites, etc so that it LOOKS natural.

    It all depends on what your competition is doing for the keywords you are targeting too.

    You won't get penalized if every muppet in the top 10 is doing what you are doing... Just do it smarter!

    Blasting do work to rank well for short term. I am sure you are not building a brand site, so here are the few tips

    Get your own sort of lists for blasting

    Diversification is the key.Just dont do article marketing. Also try for bookmarking, forum posting etc.

    Go for keyword varations. Dont just stick with a single keyword.

    Use brand name as the anchor text while blasting

    Not sure if its posssible but try to check randomly that the sites you are blasting are not adult sites

    Wiki links seem to work better Try to get more of these links.
