If you have a blog you have been using for a while and trying to SEO your new posts, if you have a choice 40 mixed back links per day or 20 per day which would you choose?

Consists of Wikis, Social Bookmarks, Web 2.0, private blog network etc....

Also, how many unique web 2.0 websites would you say is a good number?

Thanks.

    All other things being equal, I'd say 40 links per day would be better. And I wouldn't recommend focusing on Web 2.0 sites. Far better to get links from authority blogs in your niche. Gets you both link juice and targeted traffic.

    Good luck with your endeavors.

  • To be blunt, your question shows a misunderstanding of how rankings work.

    Quantity of links is nowhere near as important as quality.

    You can build one link a day and rank. Hell, you can build one a week and rank.

    What matters is the strength and quality of your links compared to those of your competition, not the sheer volume. Going for volume is actually a bad strategy these days because it makes you even more vulnerable to penalties.

    You are better off to slow down.

    Depends, how long is "awhile"?

    link velocity is super important, i'd say, the first month do 20 a day, then bump it up to 40 a day the next month.

    Or do 40 the first month, then 60 a day the second.

    I think you get the picture

    Also make sure to vary your anchor text, google won't rank you if you only use your keyword. So just make sure your vary it and you'll be safe.

      Link velocity is not "super important." It's a myth, no doubt started by those selling SEO services.

        Well from my testing on my own sites, it has been important.

        If you blast your site once, it does not have the same lasting effect as a steady daily increase of backlinks.

        That is at least, what I have learned from my own testing.

          Web 2.0 sites have been working for me - you have to get those backlinked with tier 2 links to give them some juice to pass on. I think mixed with guest blog posting on relevant sites you can do well with a combination of both methods.

    I think you just have to maintain at that pace. You do not want Google to think it's only a temporary surge in backlinks. But if you can maintain at that rate, then sure! By all means go for as many quality backlinks as possible.

    I'd better build only 1-2 links daily which are authories and giving juice. I have a round calandar to not wasting my time on building 50 links not even 10 links per day because useful backlinks are not that easy to build daily, so i'd stick with the minimal steady of authority links building.

    These are the technique that I always use to build my links with no particular orders:

    - participate in the authority sites related to my niche and give valuable comments by linking back to my site with diversity anchors text.
    - create useful unique articles and submit to 2-4 top article directories only.
    - create another unique useful articles and post to only the top web 2.0 sites.
    - create 1 or 2 videos per month and upload to Youtube with various linking anchors in description. In addition, comment on the most view related videos.
    - create reports in PDF, PPT, or DOC and summit to 1 or 2 popular doc sharing sites.
    - create useful articles and request for guest posting once a while.
    - Social networks by sharing the articles with the naked link to diverse the anchors.
    - create some profiles on the related forum topics and participate for sometimes.
    - do something with wiki and edu sites when having free time.
    - using social bookmarks.
    - if possible spend some money for the posts on the high PR related private blog.
    - sometime spending money for the reliable SEO service.

    It seems alot but I do it one by one and day by day. Randomization and repeat the process over time. I always diverse all of the anchor texts links as well as image links. In addition, the internal linking is also help and on page SEO.

    I just wanna tell you that most of the links in the signature are trash and/or a trap to make you pay!

    No of links doesn’t matter, you need to focus on building quality links. It would be better if you can emphasis on Guest blogging, so that you can get traffic and back-link at a same time.
