Are Too Many High Quality Links Bad For Your site?

So I have heard from many SEOs that having only high quality links can look unnatural and actually hurt you rather than help you is this true?

It is my understanding that you need a mix of low quality and high quality links as most links are low quality anyway with only certain high pr forum, press release and article links being of quality.

Love to hear what you guys think on this subject and what your experience has been.

      GodMode52, I ask because I am trying to show someone the answer.....sometimes they need to hear it form someone other than yourself, so I figured I'd start a thread and see what people say

    Wow I'd never think that it would ever be a bad thing. That's like saying you have too much money and it'll look suspicious. But I would guess you'll naturally get some low quality links if you have high quality ones from plagiarists and such.

      You are correct. The key here is to diversify your link profile. This includes anchor text and link type.

      Anchor Text

      Most of my sites were hit during the last update because I stuck to one formula using black hat software(s). After my analysis, I noticed that all my sites had KW 1 % >= 30%. This was a BIG NO NO.


      Link Type

      Next, was the link types. Which mainly came from Diretory, Profile, and Comments, and of course the rest were DEAD because of the big blog network takedown that occured a few months back.

      The remaining top sites were no where close to having this type of profile.

    Take all the high quality backlinks you can get. Just don't use the same anchor text =)

It ranked well before penguin but tanked when penguin update rolled out.
      Keyword diversity would have avoided this. And, forum signatures??? That's about as low quality as you can get!
