Why will Google Punish for links building?

Everyone suggests that one should not get more than 10 links a day.

If I have a site with 100 pages and I want to build links for all those pages may be not as agressive as my home page or product page basically I cannot do that?

I am planning to add 2-3 new pages on my site every day so you can imagine how big it will grow and I am not allowed to build links for all of them. That is not making sense to me.

Now I know it is not practical to build links for all the pages but I just mentioned that for the sake of getting some clarity.

Can someone please clarify this for me.

Thanks!

  • Natural linking is perfectly fine and thats what google is trying to achieve , however link building to reach a high search position is manipulating the search which may not be relevant to that search term. I would say 10 links a week rather than a day would be better providing they are quality links. other than that make sure your content as kick ass so people link to you naturally

    • Hi Magic,

      If you get links too fast you may get the attention of the spamdexing teams. 10 a day is nothing to be concerned with.

      If you focus on getting backlinks from relevant web pages you have nothing to worry about. The spamdexing teams will not ding you for relevant backlinks.

  • I dissagree with that logic. THink about anything online that goes viral . It can get thousands of links a day (or hour) and will shoot to the top of the serps. I think they key is to have a broad sample of IP, anchor text, etc. 1000 link with same ip and anchor will raise flag but many links will not. Test it.

    • Hi CanadianChickXO,

      Yes, suddenly getting thousands of backlinks will flag your page for review by the spamdexing team. If when they review those links they see that they are naturally occurring and relevant there is no penalty. So, a page that goes viral will be reviewed and not suffer a penalty.

  • I don't, although I would prefer my competitors in niches to follow this advice.

    True link spamming means generating 1000's and 1000's of links in ways that are obviously automated, such as using tools like Blogger Generator or YACG. This is what Google is concerned about. They aren't concerned if you get 12-15 or even 100 links every day for a week.

  • BG,
    Thanks you nailed it! Think about it....How can google really penalize you for anything that any of your competitors could do to your site?

    Start thinking IP Addresses and Sock Puppets if you want to know what is going to get someones attention.

    • Exactly. If google were that sensitive about linking, the competition would span each others sites from morning to evening. It will be all out war.

      The worst that google will do is not give any weight to the backlinks. Just my 2 cents and what my logic tells me

  • Thanks guys this makes lot of sense and is very helpful!

    I am just not sure what you mean by same IP? Do you mean same IP of the websites where the backlinks originate from?

    If I submit 5-7 unique articles a day, 3-4 internal links from my website and 5-7 links from web 2.0, quality blogs etc, I should be fine? This will all be manually done no bots or anything like that.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!
  • Here is an example of what I mean by IP. If you are submitting to a site there is a record of the IP address you used. So if you create multiple accounts on a site the address is the same.... 10 accounts on Digg bookmarking or giving the same site a Thumbs Up coming from the same IP can get Diggs attention. (most likely not google) If you start trying to mask your IP this is a red flag also.

    If the same IP address is running rampant posting links everywhere (thousands a day) that can cause a red flag. (mainly to the sites being posted to not google)

    If you are manually bookmarking, posting blog comments, submitting articles....long story short there are much bigger fish to fry than you.

    With a trillion websites and God knows how many internet users there are I think often people suffer from the delusion that they are much higher profile than they are in reality.

    Just my 2 cents.

    • I totally agree and thanks for making it clear to me. I have worked too hard for past one year to bring my site where it is right now. Did not want to make a mistake and suffer.

      Now I know what to do thanks again to everyone!

  • Ya I had the viral thing happen to me, knocked my old server out, but ya I have never had any problems with Google for it. As long as your legitimate and your site does not look spammy they seem fine with it. I'm sure some people get falsely accused sometimes but the vast majority of people you see on forums complaining about this usually were doing black hat stuff at least in the past.
  • in link building, spamming is the main reason why some of us get banned from search engines
  • Posting 500 links a day probably will not hurt.

    But, posting 10 links from quality sites with relevant content could help you more.
