Maximum links per month?
-
Hi All,
I am setting up a new website with a fresh domain on an existing server. I can foresee that linkbuilding is pretty easy in this sector and it wouldn't be that difficult to build as many as 200 links a month.
What I wanted to ask was whether it is possible to put a figure on the maximum number of links I could build without incurring a spam related penalty?
Could I for instance start with say 50 links / month and then in increase that by 25 links / month for the next couple of months to seetle for something around the 100 links/month mark?
Thanks in advance

Sorry one other thing. Links would come from sites with no more 100 pages each so few major sites with high DA.

Hi Marcus,
I don't want to go into exact specifics, but the site is in the adult industry and links are obtained by giving free advertising in exchange for a homepage link. There are normally about 5 outbound links to other sites on these sites that are similar in nature. Some are dofollow banners(no anchor text), some are text based.
I will be writing a script to alternate anchor text between different target phrases and pages so that I can avoid looking like an affiliate link. One thing that does worry me is that a big chunk of these links are reasonably poor quality as SEO is not really used by my patential link partners.
My focus would probably be first quality then quantity though.

Hey Ross
I don't think it's possible to make such a generalisation. It all depends on so much, certainly, 200 links a month for a new site could seem agressive but...
Can you supply a bit more info? What is the site, how are you getting these links? That kind of stuff.
Happy to look again if you can fill in some of the gaps.
Marcus

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

How many links and mentioned shall I collect for a new website per month?
My wife made a new web site and now we are trying to promote it. But I wonder if there is any risk by having too many links and mentions in the beginning (for a brand new site). How many links and mentions should I collect per month at the moment? Or shall I concentrate on something else?

Internal Links - How to Increase them, Categories not being considered as Internal Links
Hi All: As per my understanding, Internal Equity Passing Links is a metric defining PA. Now my website has around 65 internal links while few of my competitors have more than 180 links. I am unable to understand how to increase the internal links passing equity on my website, because I can see, more number of links on my website than my competitors but opensiteexplorer does not show that. I am really confused. Please help out if anyone knows something about this issue. Thanks in advance.

How to beat This with Links?
Hello, So i am trying to beat this website gujratdetectives.com/ with a new website which has no backlinks as of now.
Link Building | | hardik_hrc
Now, I checked in open explorer that this site has many moderate level links. No high authority links but the problem is these links they all have title as the search keyword "detective in Gujarat" so maybe this is why this site rests on the top of this search keyword. So if building authority links into a different domain(Not detective related) with very high PR but WITHOUT title of relevancy. Anchor text would be the keyword but not the title of page. So the question is will those authority sites beat this gujratdetectives.com/ ???0 -

Link Building: Asking for links versus building links
I am currently delving into link building for SEO having started out from a social media marketing side. From that angle, it was always my belief building high quality links came from engaging targeted bloggers and sites in my market and related verticals for product reviews and/or providing expert advise and opinion for posts they are creating. As I am learning more the "technical" side of SEO, I've read a lot of posters on here talk about asking from links from websites. While I get the concept from a strategic stand point, are links really asking for or is better to continue to pursue the long term investment of pitching to get coverage from well known bloggers and sites?

External link
Hi guys! You must get many questions about external links... This is mine. If I get an external link with good authority ranking in google, but it is not relevant to the site (for example, my site is about marquees, but we could get links from schools, which are our main clients, or any type of client) Does that affect negatively somehow to the rankings? or there is good value on it even is not related? Thanks! Adriana
