Which is better? Slow or 10k

Hi All,

I have this site which I have just finished building today. It's a simple adsense website and I just want to drive a bit of traffic to it.

I'm thinking of purchasing one of the back linking services in this forum with 10k back links but I did a bit more reading.

Some say that building back links slowly is a better way of back linking because it looks more natural, so does that mean that these 10k back link services bad?

Or is there very little difference?

Does the 10k back links do the job anyway?

I'm thinking of purchasing the 10k back links offer and it does have some really good testimonials. I am just doing a bit of research before jumping in to anything.

Looking forward to your replies

    I've seen better results if you build slowly.

    But it wont hurt you in any if you get 10k links.

      Hey,

      What do you mean in terms of better results? More traffic? Higher SE rank?

      Thanks

        Well I started 2 of the exact same sites (at different times).

        The first one I built links right away and quick. Eventually I started getting search engine traffic but it took awhile.

        The second one I waited a month before building links and when I did I did it slow. I got to the point of getting decent search engine traffic faster this way.

        Both sites targeted same keywords and contained the same stuff just different articles. Only thing different was linking strategy.

      How long did it take you to start getting decent traffic with the quick linking way? and how much traffic was coming in daily? What spot was your website sitting in search engines?

      My keyword has very little competition 1mil. "kitchen remodeling idea"

      Yeah it does sound spammy, but the reviews seems to be really good for such service. Have a look at the thread here.

        Okay, just to make a quick point here.

        If you're looking at a bank robbing service, and your friend says "it's illegal to rob banks," how does that change if there are a lot of great reviews from bank robbers?

          hey buddy cool explanation

          Theres no hard and fast rule for the speed of link building, as it depends on more than one factor like the age of domain, niche, type of links etc...thus in your case 10k of spam links may or may not harm but will not do any good either.

      That doesn't make sense.

      Having Oprah mention your site would get you a LOT of links and traffic - is that spam?

      Lots of links isn't bad.

        yeah but the links will be from different sources not just profile links or blog comments...

          We have a winner!!!

          If a backlinking service was going to give you a wide variety of sources of links, just like content going viral, then getting links fast is a great thing.

          To suddenly go from having 20 links to having 5,000 profile links may not get you de-indexed, it may eventually help you climb the SERP's, but it may just as well trigger a penalty for trying to manipulate Google's results.

          The 5,000 profile links might be OK if you were in the same time producing a ton of blog comments, video links, Web 2.0 links, etc.

          Take a look at the graphic on this page, it gives you a really cool linking strategy which not only protects your site, but also builds a funnel towards your site.

            Great diagram which shows a really good breakdown of the system they use. I like it for various reasons but the linking structure is particularly impressive. Do you know of any websites that have implemented their services?

      Thanks Danny.

    Who is to say its too much?

    There are no hard fast rules... you may build 100 a day but google may only crawl 10 of them today and 10 tomorrow... so those link wont show up all 100 in one day.

    I see it that a human can manually build 10 links an hour say and if they worked full time thats 8 hours a day thats 80 links... I try and keep it natural.

    I use to use bots and software to create links the best way is just to find someone that will work for little money to do it manually.

    But thats only my opinion... :-)

    One thing though... if the site is established ie more than a year old getting 10K links might be goood.... but a new site getting 10K links can only look spammy :-)

      I usually post my back links slowly. This gives them time to optimize in search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

      For ex. I am big in the Landscaping Niche in my city. I've managed to build a few websites, but one blog I've produced almost 40 posts on. I've been able to back link some of these posts together, but never down the same path. I never back link the same link twice.

      I've even gone as far as stepping out of boundaries and back linking a few ads thats a posted from Craigslist or Backpage back to my blog.

    Its best to do link building manually. For proper SEO you have to have quality links (meaning your links should be on sites closely related to your site). For example if you are selling perfume and you link your site to a car site, then this is not a quality link. By doing the link building manually you can be sure of where your links will be.

    Your personal standards make a huge difference for the rest of your life.

    FYI:
    Here is an article from Techcrunch...
    Social Today Feels Like Search A Decade Ago: Lots Of Noise And Lots Of Spam*
    ...which backs up and matches my opinions re: 'spammy-type' mass link building and other garbage on today's web.

    *Even if none of the 10k links are on social networks it is still spam (period)

      Hi Colin,

      While I totally agree with your clause...
      OK

      ...I was referring to whether or not it worked.
      The perception of working fuels "Spam-mania", but is 'working' defined as short, medium, or long-term?

      ...Other than anything else, that is another Warrior's WSO, and discrediting it without buying it first could get you the size 15 in the read LOL...

      1) I did try to avoid bashing...

      ...avoid bashing another members offer and still have an honest discussion about the topic.

      2) ...could get you the size 15 in the read LOL...

      I'm not sure what you are saying...
      • Are you implying I could get banned from this forum for honestly saying "Spam is garbage and there is way too much of it on the net?"

      3) I'll stand by this content here:
      @TechCrunch


      ....Hence I stuck to its effectiveness and not its morality...
      I understand, Happy New Year to you.

          Very nice diagram I really agree with you.

          =====

          Overall though...

          Slower link building seems to be what everyone is suggesting here and that is what I might do instead of buying the 10k pack. Although it is slower, it may pay of in the long run.

          This website is only to test and see if it makes any money out of adsense

    I would suggest a consistent link-building structure, regardless of what your numbers are. Consistent content and consistent link-building are two crucial strategies when it comes to SEO.
