How many backlinks should I make per day?

1st Consistency is very significant
2nd Get backlinks on high PR, more then 1 PR is efficient.
3rd Work on forums, blogs, directory, and bookmarking.

I do agree with you. Getting back links is not some kind of uncompleted task that is to be accomplished for a while by stopping all the works and then take rest. You can't take it as a load that is to be uploaded for a while.

Don't be To worried about how many backlinks you build per day (Since you are manually submitting to blogs, you can't really over do it in one day).

It is more of a marathon then a sprint.

Keep in mind that just because you may submit 100 blog comments today, it doesn't mean that the Search Engines will find all those backlinks the same day.

Be sure to create a variety of links over a long period of time with random breaks in between.

This is the answer you need. No matter if you build 3,5,10, or whatever per day. Build them at the same pace more or less and dont stop after one month...Keep going....As quoted above Google loves consistency!

Very good Andrew! Totally agree with you.

Consistency really matters for Google! Try to maintain it and you don't need to get worried about the number of backlinks....it does not make any sense!

Try to switch blogging platforms you comment too. Submit to drupal and typepad as well.

Build as many as your like. Blog commenting is a strategy, but probably far from the most effective one. I'd alternate approaches a little.

hehe, where do you get this information?

There is no limit. I have seen site that have an average of 2,000 backlinks a day and for a year. Just build them consistently.

Don't go for quantity but go for quality. Get links from authoritative websites that are relevant to what your website is all about. There is no limit number of backlinks to get.

How in the world do you guys find the time to complete a task like this?? I takes me like an hour to get 5 decent forum or blog posts?:confused:

While creating backlinks you have to more focused on quality backlinks inspite of quantity which seems to be helpful for increase your page rank so it might not be more than 30 per day.

You completely miss what you are trying to do when building backlinks.

Google is not looking at some number that they think one person could create a day and then saying that anything more than that is gaming the system. In fact one person building links daily is gaming the system and is not what Google wants you to do.

Any link building is gaming the system in Google's eyes. Whether you build 10 a day or 10k a day as far as Google is concerned you are artificially increasing the number of backlinks to your site. If they catch you they will punish your site. Your goal is to create as many links as you can without getting caught.

What you are trying to do when building backlinks is mimic what would happen when other people find your site and build backlinks to it. The "natural pattern" you are trying to emulate has nothing at all to do with what one person can do but what all the people seeing and liking your site would be able to do. This could and sometimes is a very large number of links in a very short time. Think about those pages/sites that go viral for one reason or another. They get a huge number of links, get real popular for awhile, get a huge number of people linking to them and rush up to the top of the search results. If numbers alone were an issue this would not happen.

If large numbers of links in a short period of time was the problem then any site that went viral would get punished by Google and we know this is not what happens.

People coming to your site, liking it, and then linking to it is "natural" anything else is "unnatural". How many links one person could do themselves does not even enter into the equation.


Now if you do build 10k links a day instead of 10 you may make it easier for Google to tell that your links are artificial if you do not plan ahead and make sure you do things correctly as it is easier to see patterns in large numbers. The key though is to try and build your links intelligently not matter how many you build. All these low numbers people are quoting are just made up and meaningless. All you are doing is saying that I am going to cheat the system but try and do it in such a way that I hope and wish I do not get caught. Much better to spend some time testing and learning the system so you know what works and what does not.

What types of method do you used for creating backlinks...Share with me

This is a good question and it really depends on a lot of factors such as competition and your total number of links.

When building your links you always need to keep your goal in mind. Lets go back to my "site that goes viral" analogy. What usually happens is for some reason or another people think something about a page/site is really cool and link to it and tell everyone they know and those people link to it and the next thing you know half the known universe is linking to this site.

What happens then is the site shoots up in the rankings and gets its 15 minutes of fame. What happens afterwords though is all those people move onto the next cool thing and stop building links to that site as well as possibly removing links that have already been created. The site goes back down in the rankings because Google sees that it is not "cool" any longer.

This behavior is what you emulate when you build a large number of links in a short time and then stop. It is the pattern of link building not the number that causes the problem.

The reason the steady approach is better is because your goal is to get to the top and stay there. You start off with a smaller number of links and then gradually increase them over time showing Google that you are steadily getting more popular. Now once you are at the top you do not just want to stop all your link building efforts, you can slow down but you really do not just want to stop. For one this shows Google that nobody new likes your site, for two you have no idea what your competitors are doing. Stopping your work just gives them a chance to beat you.

What I normally do is once I have a keyword ranked where I think it should be I continue for another month and then gradually decrease my linkbuilding to maybe 25% of what I was doing.

there is no restriction for making back links to particular website but try to make quality back links instead of quantity back links as well as relevant from services.

And how did you come up with this magic number??

Did you test it?

Did you find out during your testing that building 31 links a day somehow sent your site into the pits of hell never to be seen again? or did it take 35 and you are saying 20-30 just to be on the safe side?


Seriously where do you guys get this stuff?

There is no "magic number" of links that you can or should build every day. Anybody that tells you differently is either lying to you or delusional or possibly both. There are way too many variables for a number to have any meaning without looking at your site, your existing link profile, your keywords, and your competition.

If you're doing your backlinking daily, then make as many as you can comfortably handle in your average day. Don't do 20-1-160-13-54 links... those variations are too huge.

The amount is not important, quality and consistency is. If you can do 5 links/day comfortably everyday, then set that as a goal and stick to it.

Im awful new when it comes to IM but i just have to make an input here and my view will most likely be faulty.

People keeps saying consistent backlinking (10 backlinks everyday)

In my eyes the only situation that getting 10 backlinks every single day would be if you get the exact (or close to) cisitors everyday.

in my eyes what would look really wierd is:

One day you get 1000 unique visitors and get 10 backlinks.
next day you get 5000 visitors but still the same amount of backlinks
then your host is down for 2 days, but you still get 10 backlinks.

Even if Google like consistency me if i would manually review a page would think that 10 backlinks everyday no matter what would look really suspicious.

in my opinion you should build backlinks with varied amount.
