Hi guys,
There are many threads about this topic, I know. Also there are a lot of opinions. Some say it is OK to build a lot of links in a short period of time, and others say no.

The main reason - at least in the past - why people said it's OK was that if it could harm you site then you could harm other sites on purpose as well (negative SEO) and as long as I could see it seemed to be true(it was OK).

But, after recent changes in G, I hear a lot about the possibility of negative SEO and a site having disappeared from SERPs after blasting the site. Links really have to look natural etc. etc.

Then at this point how many links per day (or per week, or any period of time) do you think is considered appropriate by Google? Did recent changes in Google change your thoughts on this?

(I'm not talking about "blasting" the site by thousands of links, I'm talking about more like, say, 100 links in a week is OK or not.)

    I believe links a day still doesn't change.

    Viral sites can still receive natural backlinks with increasing velocity.

    What is important here is your link source. If it looks manipulated instead of natural then that will surely get Google's attention.

    Depending on your website, competition, keywords, age, previous links, + many other factors it might be anywhere from 1 per day to 89327478237 per day.

    You have not given us enough info to estimate it for you.

      Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes I know there are variables like you mentioned. If it is a new site it is likely to be sandboxed and if it is web 2.0 blog then it can take the beating much more etc.

      Actually I didn't ask it for specific site of mine, but now that you mentioned how about a site with/of :mid-competition, relatively new (3-4 months old), 1500/mo exact search volume keyword, previously just used social bookmarks and 20 or so web 2.0 sites dedicated to linking to the site?

    People linking to our site cannot be controlled by us. The number is not a factor, the quality and relevancy of links matters.

      You can build as many links as you want so long as the links are indistinguishable from natural links.

      Perhaps a better questions is: how many unnatural links can you build in a day without consequence? Well that depends upon many things. For example:
      • the age of your site
      • the balance of authority links to suspect links
      • the volume of unnatural links
      • how many natural links are being crawled / indexed per day
      • the source of the unnatural links - a few links from a busted PBN and you're in trouble
      • whether the links are pointing to a new high traffic keyword or an existing keyword with some natural links

      etc etc

    The age of the site is playing a big role in this, with the latest Google updates you have to put more effort into building natural links and quality ones. I would limit to 10 -20 links a week if your site is new and 20 -50 if is more old.
