What is the best way to about back linking as it relates how often should I do it?

Since I only focus on content writing and on page SEO, I outsource the back linking.

I was thinking of just adding back links once a month to each page. I don't want to add them to fast and too often. I did that before and my webpage got thrown way back to page 23 after being on page 1.


Thanks.

    What you are talking about is sometimes called link velocity. It is all about consistency. If you build 10 links today build 10 tomorrow and 10 the next day. then build 15 a day in a couple of weeks and so on.

    How often is very important (start slow on sites with no backlinks and ramp up slowly over the span of a couple months).

    But its just as important WHERE its backlinking from to. Google's Panda update has gotten very picky about the referrer of the links and link quality. Too many "useless" links in Google's eyes, especially if linked fast and unnatural looking, will move your site down rather than up.

    Backlinks ain't nearly as easy as it used to be

      Not a lot of people really understand this concept. I'm so glad that you mentioned it. My philosophy is...do it right the first time, and you never have to worry about it again. You can change the look and feel of your site as many times as you want, and build as many links as you want, but if your internal linking sucks, then you won't rank well.

        I have been trying to blast links on some of my sites.
        The results have been mixed.

        But if you control link velocity, then you have an high percentage of success.

    I would agree with nicktyler - it's not about the absolute rate, it's about consistency.
    Concentrate on building direct qiality links to your site first (especially if it's new) and build links to your backlinks. Poor links can't hurt, but won't be of much help either.

    I agree with what nicktyler said. Its all about maintaining the linking velocity. You should not look to build XXXX links in a day and then rest for the whole month. Start slow and then gradually ramp up your link building speed.

    Consistency and trends in link building are both very important indeed because if you add some links to your website and then forget about gathering some new votes for a long time, perhaps your site will never reach top spots on Google and other search sites. Simply take a look at status of top ranking websites and you will find them constantly promoted through links pointing at their pages and fresh contents added to them by admins and the owners of projects professionally.

    It is the matter of time sometimes and you need to be patient because SEO, especially in competitive niches requires being patient and remaining so. Many times even with strong links, and working for weeks and even months, the ranks achieved may not seem very satisfactory but gradually you will feel improvements happening that can be a sign of making progress. It is great to increase the number of quality links because quantity of authority links will have roles to play.

      Just be consistent with it. I personally don't build more than 1-3 backlinks a day if they get indexed very fast.

    yes if you site is new and you're building content fast at the beginning, then add back links slowly over time to look natural. Avoid using software tools that do this for you and add too many links too fast....as this is a bid reg flag to google. It's really common sense when you think about it...I mean back links are meant to show google that others like your site's content and are linking back to it for others to see. So if you add those yourself and add them in a slow fashion, you should be ok. And also for better link juice, add links on higher PR sites....like 3+.

    Here's a little secret... Link velocity, link consistency, whatever you want to call it... It is complete and utter BS.

    The reason people think there is truth behind this myth is that when they talk about building links consistently, they are usually talking about building in pretty small numbers. Like 10/day.

    You can build 10/day or 70 in one day once a week. It won't make a difference.

    The myth has been largely pushed out there by backlink providers (and especially those who offer low quality links like forum profiles) who are doing drip feeds of links or XX number of blog comments per day.

      Well something like BMR where they index the posts imediately...I wouldn't let it submit 70 BMR posts at once. Things like UAW or other articles I would say it's fine since they index naturally.

        If you could do 70 posts at once at BMR, you would not see any negative effects from it.

        Now, I would say that posting 70 articles all at once would be foolish, unless you have a HUGE supply of content, because those are probably going to all roll off the home pages at about the same time, and would want to replace them.

        But you wouldn't see your site take a dip for those 70 links.

    Backlinks cannot hurt your website. If this were the case then anyone could use XRumer or another backlinking software to remove their competitors' sites from the first page of Google.

      What about doing a 10,000 blast within the first week of having the website up? I'm pretty sure that could hurt a website.

        I've blasted a 3 day old site with 30k links from various types and had it on 1-10 in 4 weeks and stable.

          for what kind of keywords? makes all the difference. You could blast a one day year old site with a million links in a day and it would stay stable for the term "newbielab".

          of course for that term you wouldn't need many links anyway and its exactly those kinds of low traffic keywords people love to talk about and lead people astray.

            I used it on a medium competitive niche and it has been stable. In fact, I've had more dancing happening on some of my low blasts. The point is no one truly knows. From your reply to Julia, it sounds like you buy into everything G tells you.

            I have a site with all sorts of 'bad' links pointing to it and it's ranking well. The only difference I've seen when it comes to blasting and not blasting is that, you will have to deal with a bit more dancing when you blast.

      Julia, Julia, Julia when will you stop leading people astray about that? Times have changed that answer no longer is true to the extent it ever was.

      Sad part is that was reported 6 months ago, people here have got the notices month after month along with drops in the serps and people still come on here posting what you just did.
