When backlinks are too many?
-
I just started to create backlinks to my target site but many SEO expert say to me "don't go too far!".
So, where is the limit after that i could be penalized?
-
I would try and find other sources for building links.
By all means use General directories to help keep your Link Profile balanced, but don't focus primarily on them.
It is also better if your content is good enough to "attract" links naturally...
-
Well, you can Sergio, but you will get nothing back from them.
Have a look at this list of directories SEOmoz has published and try to find something that is related to what you do.
It's all about keeping it on track.
-
Ok but can i submit to general directories?
-
By good quality, I refer to anything that has a vested interest in your industry. This can be both new and old sites alike, and, for example, a website design site and a social media website could link to an SEO site and still be seen as being within your niche.
-
Its my understanding that you shouldn't purely seek out high Quality links only... As this too can look "Un-Natural"
Mixing it up can also include some of the lower quality links where appropriate, directories which are related to your location or subject for example...
-
You're welcome, but be careful with directories as they will do very little, unless they are industry specific ones.
Try and target sites within your niche where possible for a chance to get the best links back again.

For now is a very basic activity. I'm submitting the site to various sites directories (4/5 submissions a day)
Thanks for the quick response

There is no limit or threshold. Just be careful not to build too many too fast and make sure the referring sites are good quality. Diversity with anchor text is important, as is a range of landing pages - don't send them all to the homepage.

Backlinks from The Sun, New Yor Post, etc...
Hello there, Some of my competitors have backlinks from very well-known newspaper websites like New York Post or The Sun. And it is really obvious that their backlinks are paid ones. On these news websites, they don't talk about ghost writing stuff or "partnership" for backlinks. They only write about banner advertising. So I was wondering how they can get a backlink from them.

Do some writers sell those backlinks somewhere else, under the table? Are they in contact with SEO agencies who paid them and if this is the case, does their "manager" know it? or does the company directly have partnerships with SEO agencies? Basically, how to get a backlink from the NY Post or The Sun ? Thanks0 -

How long before backlinks take effect?
In general how long would it take for Google to update the SERP after it found the external link activity? Does it depend on the website the link is on as? So for example, after it found a link on the BBC would the SERP update a lot quicker then after a link on a small blog? Maybe Google updates on a certain day?

Too many links in my blog post created by comments. Should I worry?
Every year, we do a popular "Favourite pictures of the year" contest where people vote on the best picture (i.e: their mate's) in order to win something. But I just found that I'm going way over the "Too many links" limit and I think it's because of all the comments. 1. Is it a problem 2. Is there a way to de-activate the links? Thank you! 🙂 Ioan
