Too many backlinks too fast?

Getting tons of backlinks over a short amount of time THEN stopping is what you need to worry about

Trust me, you can blast a brand new site with 60K links a day as long as your consistant.

So the quantity of links is not a matter?

I think you just need to work on the high quality backlinks rather than tons of low PR backlinks.

Low quality links equals = No Value, Honestly I would not waste my time.. especially if you are buying them in bulk... My video ranks number one.. "How to get Free FaceBook Fans" out of 1.2 million results and I certainly did not get there by low quality links...

How I did it? .... You Ask....
Powerful Link Wheel... Create One Page on a High Authority Site Like... Blogger, TypePade, Squido...
etc... and keep building links towards it in High PR Sites (especially bookmarking sites)..
Took me only 2 months and about 150 links..

Cheers...

Why would building the same amount of links every day/month look natural to Google? IF anything it makes it look unnatural. I would have thought pages get backlinks sporadically i.e. during a rise in popularity of a page, there may be a huge increase in links back to the page, but as the page interest dies down, links will come at irregular intervals, some days getting quite a few to many, and some days getting just a few to no backlinks at all.

However, for those that use the same places to market every page they create to leverage the traffic those other sites have, I'm sure Google takes it into consideration and realizes that because of this some sites will have similar linking sources/patterns across all pages. Though too many and it becomes improbable that those links came as a result of trying to leverage those other sites.

I'm not saying backlinks don't work, if you don't mind spamming the internet, because it's still the best metric to measure amongst other things that attribute to a quality link. Quality links need lesser numbers to beat a higher number of links, which is widely known by everyone, but unfortunately if you have a method in which to get as many backlinks as you want from places that are likely to never be penalized or deindexed by Google, then you can usually win eventually, which is sad. It seems a waste of time though, as you have no idea what Google is capable of deindexing or devaluing, it may just start taking it out on other WEB 2.0 sites, and that's a shame because it's a solution sought by many newbie marketers as a means of testing / getting their feet wet.

It's also sites I use to leverage traffic they get, so many times my pages have similar linking patterns/sources, but not because I'm looking for backlinks, those are just a by-product of marketing my pages on these other high traffic sites, which is nice because it often helps my pages rank, which I have to admit.

Anyway, to answer OPs question, no, too many wont harm your site, because Google realizes many sites can have spikes in popularity, and because it wont index all those links on the same day. However, too many of the wrong types of links WILL affect your site. These are links from sites or networks that Google has specifically targeted either via footprints or manual selection. This was proven right by a Warrior that did a test run on taking down a site with all the wrong types of links with great success. I can't remember who it was but he proved it could be done.

But if I remember correctly, Google have since added a tool that allows you to add links that are pointing to your site for malicious reasons (correct me if I'm wrong?)

Dont Do Link Blasts-period! It is too dangerous!

Total nonsense right there. Sites get launched and attract a ton of new links right away from day one if they have good marketing behind them. I helped someone launch a restaurant last year. PR releases, TV spots, radio ads, newspaper ads and features, etc. All of that started hitting on launch day of their website. The site got tons of links right away. Then guess what? As the advertising slowed, so did the incoming links.

Site is ranking fantastically today, 8 months later, even though the majority of the links came in during the first 7-10 days, and the link volume has now slowed to a trickle.

You can find tons of other examples like this too.

Google is not stupid. They know that sites launch and do all kinds of offline advertising that can bring in a flood of links from day one.

I'd suggest you get a handful of quality links (10 - 20), from sources like manual blog comments, forum signatures and a few articles, then build lots of links into those pages.

The best thing to do in any scenario is to make sure that you're doing a natural link building strategy, especially after the Google Panda/Penguin updates. You don't want to raise any red flags for Google to notice you in a spammy way.

Just take your time with your link building.

There are different results of too many backlinks. If the website is NEW, there is a chance 80-90% to be DE-indexed. If the website has a very high page and domain Authority and has more than 10,000 backlinks, building 1,000 backlinks in a SINGLE day is NOT so dangerous. And of course we shouldn't forget something VERY important: The backlinks could be built 1,000 in just one day, but Google will see them ONCE they got indexed (so most times the backlinks would be something like this: 50 today, 150 tomorrow, 200 the next day, etc.) // It depends on the website and the result could be different.

There wouldn't be any issue if you can keep up with that rate of building backlinks. Google just doesn't like a period of excessive backlinking, followed by a period of very little backlink building. Hope I helped!

If you avoid spammy backlinks, and more importantly remain consistent in your linking efforts, I think you're on the safe side. Just don't stop building backlinks. A steadily increasing amount of backlinks is very beneficial (you can check it in Ahrefs).

Have a WBC match at 143lbs!! vs Panda or Penguin.... And win the tittle to be the strongest! lol

Quantity is a matter but it only valued with the quality one. You can make bunch of rubbish backlinks say 1000 which brings nothing for you but a few quality links can make you a benefiter. And for starting from my point of view you should start with a nominal range and you must continue. SEO is a daily process. It has no end.

This whole deal with consistency blows my mind.

In the real world, consistency seems like the most unnatural thing I can think of.
People aren't consistent, cars, women, life, so why should backlinks be consistent?

If you really think about it, the whole nature of the word "viral" implies massive inconsistency.

So what if something from my website goes viral, and I get 10,000 natural backlinks in 1 week. Then the following week, because I'm not doing SEO, what happens? I get a slap?

I don't buy it. I intentionally try to make my backlinks look inconsistent, because I believe in the real world, that will look most natural to google. Some weeks I'll do 20 backlinks, other weeks I'll do 200 backlinks. If I steadily built 100 backlinks a week, wouldn't that look MORE unnatural?

I just don't understand this concept of "consistency" or how that makes things look natural. If anything, it seems to do the complete opposite.

Reading the entire discussion was really a great and good one. Finally i found that you must continuously build link whether or not the links are of quality of not. But if we are building the quality backlinks then if will be easy for us to rank high our website easily.

Think of it from a social side. Do websites that go viral have consistent linkage? No. They'll more than likely have a massive influx of links for a few days/weeks and then people will get bored and stop sharing it.

Do some people actually think these sites will get deindexed because of that?

In general, the more backlinks the better since it acts as a "vote" for your site. But, when it comes to new sites to many backlinks can get you slapped.

Tip to avoid this -
Stay consistent and keep building backlinks, because a spike of backlinks per day to a new site is fine as long as you continue building that many backlinks everyday. It's after a month of getting 500 links per day, and suddenly dropping to 50 when things start to look funny.
