How many backlinks would you say is too many on a start up site. Assume about 300 visitors driven to the site via adwords.

Solid!

Wow, this is a tough question. I think the answer is, "whatever number of additional links you can sustain in your link-building on a consistent basis over a long period of time." In other words, if you go gung-ho and build 500 backlinks in your first week, and then only 1 a week for the next 8 months...something might look fishy about that link profile.
The question is asked almost as if you have an endless pool of backlinks...which makes me suspect to begin with. If they are all legitimate links, then I want to go fishing in the same pool you're fishing in!
Joking aside, if you know you can get 100 solid links right out of the gate, but not so sure how long you can sustain that, I'd add them little by little over the course of a few weeks or months so that your link profile stays consistenly growing. Then, after your site's been up for a while, your site should settle into a pretty natural pace. There will always be spikes and dips as different parts of your site might get more attention at certain times (new realeases, news articles talk about you, etc.), but overall there will be kind of a "norm" for your site established that you won't want to go crazy and upset it unless the spike is produced legitimately.
Good luck and happy fishing!

Do NOFOLLOW backlinks have ANY value? or did I waste money?
So, I hired a helping hand to create some back-links for me (in form of comments on some blogs and forums etc) About 60% of those links created are using "nofollow" attribute in the link.

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
